Copper Bands eat the eyes off crabs?
I want a CBB but I have a friend who had one eat the eyes off her crabs. Is this normal?

Thats funny! No, I wouldnt consider that normal. They dont usually go for crab eyes, and are very nice reef fish.

I wouldn't say a good reef fish as most are not reef safe with LPS corals. Many are difficult feeders.

Most do eat aiptasia but not all. Some don't end up ever eating anything hense their horrible survival rate. Have you read the copper band primer in the fish forum?
