I am looking for a copper banded or pearl scale butterfly fish that have a demonstrated desire to eat typical food (mysis, etc.) and will not eat my softies or LPS. My goal is that they will eat the aiptasia in my tank then be a regular good member of my reef. Please let me know if anyone is selling one and would be willing to show me that it eats before I buy it.

Thanks

I saw a couple of coral banded at Oceanic on Fri. Not sure what they are eating, I didn't ask.
27266 Fraser Hwy I believe.

Yea Oceanic usually has copper bands, and they wont sell you one unless it is healthy and eating. Solid place to buy from.

Checked all stores in the lower mainland and no luck finding any copper bands. Anyone have any leads on one?

I have a weird solution for you! Pick up a Hydnopora colony! Set them beside your Aiptasia and they'll melt them for you, no babies!
