Hey, I didn't know Hikari had that Product!!!
I prefer Ocean Nutrition or Hikiri clams on the half shell from pet store. But I’ve fed store bought small clams from time to time. You can freeze the store bought ones before feeding. Then slice them thin and feed with tweezers or just drop a half one in for several hours. Next to worms this was my CBBs favorite food during quarantine. Mine never developed a taste for mastikI’ll try them while I wait for the Mastick ships. Thanks for the advice
I agree Clams are better and a long term food compared to Masstick.I prefer Ocean Nutrition or Hikiri clams on the half shell from pet store. But I’ve fed store bought small clams from time to time.

He’s still alive. He seems to be more mobile today, but he’s still skinny, I bought frozen muscle and put it in a shell. He could smell it, and went around the shell. I don’t get close enough to see if he is eating it, because every time I do, he swims of and doesn’t come back for a long time. I need to get him eating something, because I think he’ll be dead by the time the masstick arrives. Tomorrow I’m going to try an oysterHow is the Copperband doing? Hope he' is hanging in there (even hungry).
Any luck getting any kind of new Food to try.
I got some of the Hikari Clam on Half shell, and know exactly how frustration is.
I threw one into each tank.
The Copperband #1 Clam Eatter in Tank A, found it and enjoyed the meal.
Copperband #2 in tank B, was lost. He could smell yummy food, Passed by, sniffed, and then went to look for food. Fish are so stuck on his routine eating. The Clam is justting there. No fish will touch it.
All fish are so habitual. Trained to eat the regular way.
Even if I turn off my Flow, and throw in regular food, they stare wondering why it won't move to chase.
DUMB!
CopperBand #3 in Tank C, was even more clueless......Passed by the clam like 5 times. No reacation.
Until another Fish a Yellow Tang started pecking at the Clam....and the Copperband noticed That's when get Copperband took a bite. He'll come back.
It's amazing how one fish can teach another.
TRAINING is very Frustrating, since you care so much. Thinking. "Just Take one Bite...You'll like it"
More Mobile is great news.He’s still alive. He seems to be more mobile today, but he’s still skinny, I bought frozen muscle and put it in a shell. He could smell it, and went around the shell.

More Mobile is great news.
Sniffed the Food is hope.
Yes, they get nervous with your watching.
Hide around a corner and watch.
Keep lights lower (not bright at all, since Copperband are active 24 hours a day. I never see mine sleep like other fish)
Their meals come out at night in Nature (night critters)
They are night hunters.
If you have a WEb Cam, that's what I do as well.
If you see him pecking, that's also a positive sign. Eatting food you can't see.
mastic?
put some in a clam shell
