Hello! I have 2 tangs, a purple and yellow. They have a habit of ganging up on certain newcomers (killed a powder blue tang and a coral beauty angel on seperate occasions). Right now I have a copperband in the tank with a partition up so the tangs can't get her.
To avoid aggression I thought it...
Just wanted to come on here and share my experience buying a quarantined CBB from TSM Aquatics. After (unsuccessfully) trying my luck with 3 different CBB's from my LFS in the past year, I finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase a quarantined specimen from TSM Aquatics. Josh was very...
Hi everyone,
just wanted to share just another cautionary tale for the use of Flatworm Exit. I want to share my journey to help others make informed decisions and avoid similar mistakes.
Tank size: 210 gal, 9 months old
Mostly fish with a couple of soft corals and large euphyllias

He’s always out and about unless I approach the tank, that’s when he hides and stays hidden until I distance myself. He’s curious and all, but he just doesn’t want to eat anything I give him (shrimps and clams). He’s 2 days old now
Want to ween your CBB off of live food/clams, or, teach him to feed out of this so he's not out-competed in the tank during feeding time (*cough* tangs *cough*)? Then you need this in your life, and so does your CBB, hah. The 'inside' ends combine to form a protected cylinder which is where you...

Hi There! We have had our CBB for a little over a month now. Before I get started, Gill eats almost 2 clams a day or Mussels (out of Clams) and Mysis shrimp constantly. He is always swimming around and very agile. Lastly, our water levels are all spot on. Today I noticed the 2-3 white specs on...
Copperband butterfly fish: What you need to know?
Welcome back to the Royaltanks blog, I'm Marco and today we will tackl about a controversial topic: the maintenance in the aquarium of Chelmon rostratus. This magnificent butterfly fish, called Copperband, is a fish of peaceful nature...
One of the fish I have always dreamed of owning when I got a large tank was a butterflyfish - specifically a Copperband or Racoon butterflyfish.
Now that I've got an established 125g tank (w/Trigger Emerald 34 sump), I was considering getting a Copperband. I made the decision that I wanted to...
SO - somehow - no clue how - I ended up with some aiptasia anemones. I just tried to kill them with 'removal' - and a month later - I had 50. They weren't spreading - and I personally don't mind them - they didnt seem to hurt anything - when it increased to more than that - I thought - hmmm...
Hi everyone! My first time posting here!
I’m looking for some advice on fish stocking for my 120gal mixed reef. The tank is 5’x2’x2’. I have a large sump in the basement - total water volume 170gal.
The tank has been up and running for 3 years (including a house move) and has a majority of SPS...
I really need help with my Copperband Butterflyfish. I recently purchased it about three days ago. On day one he was not eating, it was only in the evening when I fed it frozen artemia, marine mix, and mussel meat cubes did he eat. On day two; he was eating but it looks like he was not 'fighting...
I bought this copperband butterfly from Liveaquaria. It came with a white big spot in its back fin and one side fin. After one day he is showing more but they look a bit different that ich. They are bigger.
Do you have any idea what can it be and what should I use? I have to say he is eating...
