I think this copperband is a keeper

Had to move him to the sump a few weeks ago because my yellow tang was being awful. Of course, that drove the CBB to stop eating. I tried all sorts of food, including blackworms, and he just wasn't taking, but he came around this week.

 

 

He's eating like a pig. The confined environment probably helped him conserve a lot of energy. He was going crazy in the display trying to swim away from the tang. Now I need to catch the tang and re-home to Piper27.

Definitely a favorite for me. Get him into your DT, then we'll have some awesome videos to watch!

I love copperbands and have been keeping them since the 70s.  One of my favorite fish.  Their main diet in the sea is worms so you shouldn't have to teach them to eat them.  Mine (and all my fish ) get live worms every day.  He is twice this size now.   Here is a video
