Well.... live brine finally worked. I tried mysys, frozen brine, and a "Angel fish, Butterfly Fish" frozen food. Nothing worked except live brine. He has eaten all the aptasia and white feathers, but I'm afraid live brine won't be enough.

I have a copperband too. I was able to get him eatting frozen mysis. I would think that once his appetite gets going good on the live brine, you could start putting some frozen food in there. Try to ween him off of the live stuff by mixing it with frozen.
Good Luck.

Good topic:
Mine has mowed down all the dusters and most of the aiptasia now as well. He eats frozen brine and just this morning went for some formula 2 flake.
I've had him about 3 weeks:

Funny though - when I introduced the CBB - the Yellow Tang kind of pushed him around the tank. A few days later - they are swimming side by side across the front of the tank together, like buds.

that's good to know, cuz i plan on getting a yellow tang, and i wasn't sure if they would fight or get along. here's my cbb, his name is Slim.

krill hasn't worked for my cbb yet, he seems to like the frozen brine though. maybe he'll come around, he's still new to the tank and he's still a lil' shy towards the other tankmates. it doesn't help that my 3 stripe damsel chases him around once in a while....
