The first two years of owning my CBB I only fed it mysis once a day. The first year was okay but by the end of year two I was having problems. After it ate all of the feather dusters, spaghetti worms and aptasia in the tank it began to go after LPS coral one at a time and then the clams. I removed everything that it touched and began feeding 3 times a day. There are only a few types of LPS that I can keep with it now but considering that I've had the fish for over 5 years I guess thats okay. At some point more recently it also took a liking to eating bristle worms.
