Please quick answers (Copperband Feeding)

[cam78]

Im going to get whatever food I can for this new copperband. Tried Mysis, and Brine. Spit out both. I read open clams but is there anyting else I should try. Please let me know. I will be leaving here shortly. Thank you. He likes picking at the rocks, is there something I can attach to rocks he will eat?

clams are good , try soaking the mysis in garlic for 10 minutes

Tried the garlic, spit it out. I was told the Butterfly will eat in a couple days. My friend said it took some time for his to start eating. I'll keep trying the Mysis. I tried to get clams today, LFS didn't have them.

Cut them up and drop them in or break them open and leave the half shell in the tank?
