I just purchased a copper banded butterfly from my LFS. They had him in the store for about a week. I saw him eat at the store before I bought him (not sure exactly what the were feeding, brine shrimp and mysis I think).
Ate a very small amount when I got him in my QT tank on Saturday, but hasn’t eaten since. It’s a 20 gal QT tank, also have a yellow tang and flame angel in there too. I guess he could be picking food off the bottom or off the sponge filter when I’m not looking. When I put food in he looks at it but won’t eat.
I’ve tried mysis, spiralina brine shrimp, seaweed extreme pellets, nori rubberbanded to a rock, and added a little bit of reef chili to the mix too. I’m going to try some cyclopods with the brine shrimp tonight.
LFS suggested moving him to the DT were he will have more room, but I’m worried about not quarantining him.
Sorry for the long post. Any help is greatly appreciated.
