actually copperbands do not eat corals, neither do the regular long nose butterfllies(lau wili wili nuka nuka oi' oi'). But they do graze all day, if you are just starting to stock your tank it may be too early to put one in as there is not enough natural food growing on the live rock. an aquarium of at least 6 months old is a safe time to add one of these, also for your aquarium a smaller one would be best.
