If its not ACTIVELY eating at the lfs your chances of keeping it alive are slim to none unfortunately.]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2012 07:52:29 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54395&PID=451519&title=copperband-butterfly-fish#451519 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54395&PID=451516&title=copperband-butterfly-fish#451516 Author: griffith

I have had three of them over the years and love them for thier beauty and grace. They are very hard to keep IMO.

I've had much better luck with an (ugly) file-fish.
They do a great job of eating the aptasia and are very hardy.

So I have been avoiding my aptasia issue but its getting a bit out of hand lol earlier this week I saw a lfs here in WY bring in a copperband butterfly. It looks awesome and I've read that they love to eat aptasia but can be a handful to take care of... just wondering what kind of experiences some of you owners have had with these? ]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2012 23:14:01 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=54395&PID=451498&title=copperband-butterfly-fish#451498
