Copperband update: it is healthy and has taken to a consistent diet of brine shrimp :) it seems to love it's new home and has also cleaned up my aptasia! Favorite fish in my tank for sure with alot of personality

brine shrimp n garlic... tried that??
I hardly saw mine eat anything but the apstia were dissapering so I had a feeling he was eating
now he eats almost any thing I put in includeing the romain I give to my tangs
good luck

Thanks for the tip! Worked like a charm he eats the brine shrimp without the garlic now like a pig

I just got one of these about 3 weeks ago. Immediately began picking at my rocks, and on day 2, someone accidentally swallowed a brine shrimp he was trying to get out of the way of. Once he tasted it, he was hooked and immediately started eating all the frozen brine/mysis he could eat. Even ate some flakes today! However - he won't touch the Aptasias (yet!)
