What corals do Copperband Butterfly nip on??

[nanomania]

Im planning to get a cbb which has been with a fellow hobbyist since a year, he is selling the setup as he is leaving the town. The cbb eats Frozen food.

Which corals do they nip on? Plz help

I have seen them nip on brains and acans. they may nip on anemones as they like aptasia but mine has not nipped my bubble tip. The brain had to be removed from the tank, the acans seem to not be nipped as much. Each one seems to have a bit of a different preference or taste... I feed mine fresh mussels on the shell that the CBB loves, I also have a clam in the tank that is has never picked at, and hoping it stays that way!

Mine doesn't pick at any corals. But a have seen specimens pick at acans, blastos, and wellsos.

My CBB has been a great part of my 233. It ate all the aiptasias and nothing else.
I was hoping it would go after the majanos, but it didn't.

Mine doesn't nip at any corals. He does eliminate any tube worm that he encounters.
