Paul B might have more input on the worms. I've never tried it. Seems they die in saltwater quickly so it's not something they have to chase.
yes we started with mysis & brine frozen cubes. you will notice that the CB stalks the underneath of the rocks, if he has a favourite place to hunt try and place it on those rocks some how. We were lucky and had a hole in the rock so just the net part was poking out. He found it straight away.Interesting stuff... I like the net idea... You are saying to put meaty foods in the net right???
I will also look into the black worms

I see that you live in San Diego. Do you by chance shop with Will at Aqua SD?
Many folks have success with our blends for copperbands if you cannot find black worms locally. We have fresh clams and other fresh morsels that seem to work well for finicky eaters. We get video submissions sent to us frequently from customers who were excited their fish started eating again so it might be worth a try in your case. Here a few videos with copperbands, and good luck!
This video was on Aquanerd a few weeks back:
