copperband butterflies

[creatureteacher]

I have always thought these were the most beautiful butterflyfish, but have had limited success with them in the past. A couple of weeks ago I purchased a small one as I have never tried one in a reef. It seems to be settling in fine, picking at the rock and eating bloodworms quite well. Does anyone out there have any experience with these? What should I watch out for? I don't have any clams or feather worms in my tank, but are they prone to picking on anything else?

sounds like you got a healthy one which is a good start. dont add (or have) any fish that would compete for food or teritory with them as they are shy.... (like most I made this mistake many moons ago)...................make sure your temp is steady and feed as much as u can with ur bio load

good luck
