Copperband help!

[Coral.Reef]

Good lesson here is that anyone looking to buy a copper band should confirm they are eating at the LFS before bringing them home. If they are eating, confirm what they are being fed.

I came so close to picking one up then heard how problematic they could be.

However, I do recall seeing a video from Ryan and Elliot @serious reefs who commented on how easy they were, so idk…

If I could have I would have :) was the lone copperband in a bag, and he looked to be in great shape when I got him. Glad that it is on the mend now.

Ok miracles do happen….i tried worms now about an hour after the dip and it suddenly ate about 8-10 worms!!!

So the dip certainly did something. @Jay Hemdal should i dose something in that tank to help it back to normal?

Ive have pazipro, metroplex and kanaplex on hand. Will also be adding a mystery wrasse tonight to this hospital tank.

Dont want to overdo medications but certainly want to build on this breakthrough after 7 days.

@Jay Hemdal
It’s been 3+ days of good black worms feeding, so the hunger strike certainly appears to be over for now

Re: QT….here is my challenge.
Mystery wrasse and CBB together, getting alone fine and eating worms, but in my old fish tank with live sand, and some ceramic media. I do have copper power and prazi on hand, with the API copper test kit. Could i get away with this setup as the QT, or do I HAVE to setup another tank with any sand or ceramic? I’d like to move them over 30-45 days so i can settle them in the display before I head out for a vacation around end of November.


I also have to train then on prepares food in that time.

Any suggestions?
