I couldn't take it. I just had to have a Copper Band Butterfly. This was the first one I have seen in a store eat (in almost 2 years). I asked them to feed it, they did and it ate right away. Therefore, it ended up in a bag in my front seat for a little journey to my Reef at home. Aparently it just came in today so I reckon it will take a little more effort to adjust to my tank.

Hope he dosent eat my corals and my Tang dosent eat him;-)

Anyone have luck with one of these in their reefs?

I've had mine for 6 months. He was hard to get eating and is still finicky sometimes. But I go to the grocery store and get some live clams and mussles. Split them open just enough so only his snout can get in, and he goes to town on them. Love them. So for a treat you could give that to him. Best of luck. They are my favorite.
