Mine is still a little shy. Do they come eat off tweezers? How do you prevent the others from getting the food?Feed him with tweezers.
Thank you. I've been fairly lucky on the food side. He ate all my aiptasia, starting with the small ones and then tearing up the large ones... He loves frozen blood worms.I got mine to eat from tweezers in QT. I have a moorish idol and filefish that do also feed from tweezers but they all get some. Other fish stay away. hopefully the CBBs curiosity would eventually get him to hit on it. I use strips of clam sliced with razor to work best. If you can source live black worms mine goes nuts for them.
Yeah, that is smart. My clown is strong enough that he could pull the rock... big old clown.If you could get a large enough clam the clownfish couldn't carry it, open it and clean it out, then rubberband it back closed except for a chip out of it or a hole drilled in it. Then put whatever you want inside. I have heard of people teaching CBBs to eat frozen that way
What does you idol eat? I had great luck getting mine to eat PE pellets. So easy to keep him fat and healthy with a automatic feeder then feed frozen and seaweed on occasion.I got mine to eat from tweezers in QT.

My MI eats absolutely everything, including pellets. He's always picking at the side and back glass as well. He's quite easily the fattest fish in the tank. I actually bought the Neptune AFS hoping I could cut out one or two of my three frozen food feedings a day but haven't hooked it up yet. I also feed Mid Jersey Pets Angel Diet which contains sponge a couple times a week for the MI. The CBB doesn't go near pellets and I don't expect he ever will so I'm a little nervous going down to two feedings for him. That being said I don't believe CBBs have the high metabolism of MIs so two feedings for him is probably fine. Might have to start a new thread on how often are people feeding their CBBs.What does you idol eat? I had great luck getting mine to eat PE pellets.

My cbb and trio of mimic file fish all eat from my fingers and take frozen bloodworms and mysis with garlic so far as well as masstick, working on flake.
