Mine wouldn't eat anything I put at it. I tried all frozen foods, masstick, clams, etc. The only thing it will touch is black worms. It took two feedings and he went right for them on the second one. I can feed him from my hand now.

Hey bud good to see you.. those spaces look large, mysis and worms would escape real fastHey X I saw your post and wanted to share what feeding tube I used. I put in some LRS reef frenzy and mysis and they started picking right away. Was also able to get my Copperband to eat Masstick. The tube came from an AquaMedic fish trap.
Can you explain about the feeding tube please. Also you all say feed blackworms but they seem to be fresh water worms, so can I feed then to my coooerband?They are incredibly smart fish once they get established. Mine eats direct from the feeding tube with his beak which prevents other fish from eating his portion and breaks up smaller particles to feed my anthias and corals. I have seen other folks use a small pvc pipe with caps and holes drilled in them to allow them to “hunt” for the food in their natural way.
here is mine, 2 years old now.
