Maybe I got lucky but I picked up a Copperband a month ago to combat my aiptasia in my sump. Aiptasia where gone in only a couple days. Then he moved onto majano and they are gone. So are all my fan worms I've introduced to my res.
Hardest working and probably greatest fish I've put in my system to date. And it's beautiful!
Probably would eat any soft coral I introduced it to lol.

I don’t have any butterflyfish but always wanted to add one to my mixed reef. Only problem is, I keep clams, Christmas worms and hermit crabs & snails including baby snails and wish to continue to keep them.
Is there any aptaisia eating fish that won’t touch Tridacna clams and Christmas worms?
