Just about everything I ever read about Copperband Butterflies mentioned
that they are extremely difficult to get to eat.

In my usual ill-advised fashion, I picked up the first nice looking juvie I
found. (I`m a sucker for juvies).

It`s been 2 months now, and I must say that this fish has been eating
prepared foods since day one. I use those San Francisco frozen foods, like
"Marine Cuisine". It eats everything I introduce into the tank, without
hesitation. It also grazes on the rock all day (yes, Ive lost a few tube
worms).

I don`t get the Reputation this fish carries. I cant believe I`m one of the
few "Lucky" ones to pick up a Copperband. I`d bet that Copperbands do much
better in established Live-Rock tanks.

Mine wont touch flake or pellet food but or any of the frozen gel foods
I had. He goes ape for anything shrimp, brine, mysis, chopped prawns,
and anything shellfish. Goes batty for aiptasia. I've only got them in
my fuge now, occasionally I rotate the rocks out for him.
