peppermint shrimp, copperband, klein's b-fly, and kalkwasser injections if done carefully. you could always trade or give the cbb or kb to someone with the same problem.

I think Mark is crazy. Oh but back to this topic... I think Mark is crazy. I'd say keep the copperband, they are wonderful in a reef tank.

I've had him over a week and so far I haven't seen him go after anything including aptasia. I have noticed though that there seems to be less aptasia and he/she seems to be one happy fish. I'll keep an eye out and if the CBB goes after something I don't want it to then I'll take action.

bhaight,
If you have trouble getting your CBB to eat or you want to give him a treat...
go to smiths and get some clams, pop them open and stick them on the
substrate, They love those things.

So far he seems to be doing well. I had them feed him at the pet store before I bought him. Thanks for the hint though. I've heard that once the Aptasia is gone sometimes they will stop eating and die so I'll keep that in mind as things move along.

I had a ps that knocked out all my aiptasia very quickly. Then about 5 months later he suddenly got a taste for my corals especially my mushrooms. He devoured a couple mushrooms and I caught him nipping at a few others, but I left him in to see if he would stop. No such luck. He ate 3 more mushrooms w/in a week and so I had to catch him and feed him to my open brain.
Since he has been gone (about 2 weeks or so) I have noticed a few more tiny aiptasia heads popping up here and there. I will be getting another one to control this new outbreak but just a word of advice to keep an eye on your ps as they can suddenly turn and start eating the corals you want to keep. Overall though he kept the aiptasia under control very well.

I noticed mine clean my RBTA when he is exporting waste... I first thought
they were eating him because they deflate whent they do that but the
next day he was even bigger and happy- er
