How is the cbb eating habbits?
Not great , I personally have never seen him eat with the rest of the fish. Obviously he’s eating something , I change out some rocks I have in the sump to DT every other week or so to give him aptasia / feather dusters , I’ll probly shake the chaeto later today in DT and I love urchins to!!! Had the algae clip again this morning hahaha

Never thought I’d be here but actually trying to trade corals for aptasia LOL , someone local hopefully has some
Jason and I are going to go on a big tour of LA shops while he is here. I'll be sure to let you know who's got a bunch of aptasia for you!

Weirdly, there's an All white Aptasia in my main tank that the CBB hadn't cared to eat. Its quite strange

Believe me , I’ve stressed over it too much , I’ve tried everything besides live worms hopefully it decides to eat more soon
It'll get there. I was a little curious. You have one eating live, not frozen. Worms may be the next best step. Or a cbb food cage. He's fine for now.

Black worms are so hard to find to ,thanks for the encouragement. I’m not too worried but would definitely feel better if it ate more gonna google CBB food cage lol

Kind of like a pvc with some caps with holes made for their nose. Other fish are much faster at getting food. Leaving them with no options.

Plus, may encourage further eating.
Ye he’s a picky son of a gun lol , I’ve tried putting food into the dead clam shell as well - blood worms , actual clam , mysis , scallop and just ignores , possibly eats when I’m not there? Not too sure

He looks good.
Found someone local , let’s see how much aptasia I can get lol
As a cbb owner. I know this feeling. Grabbing infested rock. However. Some might be too big to ve of interest. Depends on your guy.

Mine will nip the large ones to death.
