Another Great Dr Reef Experience

[Dr. D]

Today I received my third order from Dr. Reef. I’m very happy.

I’d previously ordered a splendid pintail fairy wrasse, but sadly it arrived dead. I understand that they’re sensitive to shipment, so I suggested maybe a copperband butterfly might be a better choice as a replacement. Dr. Reef agreed with my change, and today the CBB arrived along with an urchin and some shrimp.

The CBB is very large and healthy— if he doesn’t end up eating, it’s on me (or him). The shrimp and urchin are great too.

I love not having to maintain a quarantine tank and will continue to order from Dr. Reef.

First off I want to thank you for your support and your feedback. So we appreciate your business.
Secondly if the copperband doesnt eat, try clams on half shell from frozen section of any store or try blood worms or any live worms you can find in your local area or frozen if not.
If it all fails please let me know, We stand behind our work and if things go south we will always cover the customer at no expense to them.
Our goal is to see healthy fish in everyones tanks.

Just to close the loop here, since there are so many questions about CBBs and how difficult they are to keep... a few weeks ago I bought a dozen frozen clams from the grocery store, dropping one in the tank every few days. The CBB immediately showed interest, and clearly loved them. (The Foxface, Hippo Tang, shrimp and snails eventually joined him.) I never bothered with worms or garlic.

A couple of weeks after that, he started greedily eating frozen (cubed) mysis shrimp along with his friends. Now he's fat and happy, always cruising the tank and asking the snails, "Are you food?" He's very friendly and curious, completely unafraid of my hand in the tank.

All in all a wonderful addition to my peaceful reef, and no more trouble than anyone else at this point. I certainly don't qualify as "expert," just lucky I guess.

So glad to hear that.
Thats what we do when they go into hunger strike. Clams on half shell or live or frozen blood worms. That normlaly gets them going.
