Not the best pic but I do love my CBB, it is close to 5" nose to tail & 4" top to bottom.

Some great photos so far! Here's one of mine. This is a Chaetodon ulietensis or double saddleback butterfly. Originally purchased to help keep majano under control, which all disappeared within a few weeks, and then aiptasia. Unfortunately after that he developed a taste for more expensive things so he now lives ina FOWLR. Had him about 2 years now I think. He can help dispel the myth that butterflyfish are peaceful fish, he is the king of his tank and lets the others know.

Thanks man, haha it's one of about 100 attempts. I had to switch cameras too, the first one I used just utterly spooked him, not sure what was up with that, I think he was seeing the focus beam or something.

its a beautiful pic and an awesome fish, i tried to get some pics the other night of a hitch hiker crab and i got the same results the focus light spooked him and he only comes out at night so hes a tricky bugger lol i take maybe a 100 pics just to get one lol im still learning the camera part of the hobby finally invested in a tri pod and im getting better for sure:)

Nice pic Tony. I can confirm that fish is one aggressive and pushy little SOB. Trying to hand-feed the eel was fun with that bully nailing the shrimp.

Can I ask the people with Copperbands what you find them eating mostly in your tanks? Flake/Pellet/Cyclopeeze/Frozen, etc?
