I had to give away my last Copperband which I looooved because I loved my acans more. I'm trying to get a read on whether Copperbands are generally enjoy puffy pillows or whether mine had an uncommon taste for them.

Would definitely love another one but not if they have a general tendency to eat Acans.

I don't have acans, but I do have other fleshy lps coral, and my CBB has never bothered them.

My CBB loves acans, blastos. Leaves zoas, soft coral, SPS alone. Like to try a maxima clam but I think it would bother it. Love my CBB more than the corals so I am limited to what corals I keep.

I have had a few cbb over the years. They are very indiviualistic. Some are completely safe, others have a taste for corals. The last one I had only ate acans and left all other corals alone.

Mine nipped at my acans endlessly. Not sure if it was trying to eat them. Didn't bother any other coral.

My cbb doesnt bother corals, but I dont have acans.

Acans are the least fish safe coral there is, so if your cbb eats a coral it will most likely be an acan.
