i've had him for almost 2 weeks now....i decided to starve him out and not feed live foods....it worked!

he finished eating all the aiptasia and now he's eating frozen mysis shrimp, frozen brine shrimp, and frozen blood worms.

my yellow tang no longer beats up on him..all is well

That's awesome...how did you acclimate it to the tank? Did you separate the yellow tang and the copperband for the initial few days, or just add him to the display tank? My kole tang is going to try to dominate it...a little scared to pull the trigger on it.

gooliver- -I am curious. Did you not quarantine your CB before putting in your main tank?

I have a CBB going on 4 weeks. Eats like a pig. Loves mysis and picks at my homemade foods. (he doesnt like shrimp shell).
He does eat my vermitid snails (tube snails). He also follows me right to the side of the tank whenever I come near.. he is always hungry!

i just floated him for 30 minutes and then added 1 cup of water to the bag every 5-10 minutes. i then netted him out and put him in the tank.
I did not separate him from the yellow tang - the yellow just got used to him after about a week...now they swim right next to each other with no problems. I did not quarantine him at all.
