THANK YOU!!! I'm about to try this today. I've had a copper band for about 2 weeks, he's cleaned up all the aiptasia in the tank. I like the little guy cause he's very active, but i never see him eat when i feed the tank.

[@tylerhuxford44]

Very cool yours is already eating aptasias! That’s a good sign 💪 you’ve got this!

[@raymundogomez3029]

I’m getting a pre-ordered copperband from Indonisea this Friday & I’m getting ready to this journey, wish me the best!!!

[@tylerhuxford44]

Best of luck to you!

I’ve got two CBBs in an observation tank separated by a barrier. One eats mysis and brine out of the water column like a pig. The other, not so much but it does try everything I put into the tank (mysis, brine, clam, mussel, shrimp) once or twice, then goes back to picking live rock. Do you recommend going to live worms or is a little interest good enough?

[@tylerhuxford44]

A little interest is a great sign! But if it were me, I’d try the worms anyways ☺️

[@ronaldlambertson2624]

Good info. I bought mine pre quarantined for about six weeks. It was use to eating mysis from the water column. After a few days it was eating as aggressively as the rest.

[@tylerhuxford44]

You got a winner!

Wow as soon as I turned down the GPH on my mp 40 he started being inquisitive around the rocks and corals and started eating stuff off the sand bed. Was not doing that at all before putting down the GPH in the MP 40.

[@tylerhuxford44]

Glad you found out the flow can really stress these guys out! Most reefers don’t catch on to that until it’s too late

[@reef.exotico]

Thanks for doing this video. Just started up my quarantine tank, now I know what fish to put in it. 🙏🏽

[@tylerhuxford44]

Right on! Love it

[@reygato999link3]

please give me more info about what do you mean of live mussels, here in mexico just can get fresh mussels or frozen mussels, but not live...

[@tylerhuxford44]

Get fresh! Not frozen

[@MrLeoxlim]

This was a fun and informative! I’m not sure if I’d get one for my tank but I’ll look back to this video if I ever do! Also did I miss the krak giveaway announcement 😅 ? Holy holy grail!!!

[@aquariumaddickuk]

Masstick was a huge help with mine.hes fat and happy and eats aggressively.great vid!

[@tylerhuxford44]

How about Sunset Butterflies? Will all butterflies like mussels?

[@tylerhuxford44]

Can’t speak on behalf of sunset butterflies, never had one 😕 sorry!

[@Saltydog547]

Great video with lots of useful information. Thanks. BTW, any tricks how to pair copperband butterfly?

[@tylerhuxford44]

My CBB would only eat Mysis if he could see the eyes.

[@tylerhuxford44]

Interesting! I’ve not heard of that, but that’s helpful!

[@damiantosd8720]

Masstick is another food you can try had success multiple times.
