Reef safe to the max! For years! Zoom in on photo you’ll see CBB right in front of my grandson. ( must feed at least twice a day and keep the tank flow “moderate” as other fish will out compete these fish for food. Like Tangs and Damsels.

CBB is a great choice but be aware that some of them may be zoa munchers, even if well-fed. I had to take all zoas out of my frag tank due to a CBB that loved them. Didn't touch SPS or LPS, but ate most of the zoas in that tank. 2 other CBB in different tanks don't bother zoas much at all.

I can't explain how jealous I am reading this threads of CBB's eating Aiptasia. I have one AND a "Aiptasia" Eating Filefish...both ignore the Aiptasia.

Sounds like my luck lol
How long have you had them? My CBBs and former matted file fish took some weeks to start eating aiptasia, but once they did, all accessible aiptasia were gone.
