As a former pet store owner, blackworms uneaten were bad news in fresh not to ention saltwater aquarium. They are a great enticer for CBB as they also represent aptasia but can decay in a tank quickly. I have never had a problem getting a CBB to eat. try seaweed/nori on a clip which should get your butterfly to start eating as well as live brine shrimp and mysis shrimp
I agree. They die quickly. I feed them sparingly. A full healthy teaspoon for the 720, 1/2 for the 350 and a few worms in the seahorse tank for the residents. They die quick but I do think they are a great addition to a varied diet. They also should not be the main meal as they have a high fat %. I believe Paul mentioned that.
