Coppers are hit and miss as to what they will eat.. If anything.

What are your plans for your existing CBB if you find a new one? You can not add a new one with your existing fish.. The established will harass the new one to death.

These are a very hard fish to get eating. Mine was already eating mysis when I bought her, but OMG is she slow and picky. I swear if the individual mysis isn't just perfectly formed and to her liking she won't touch it. If she were in a busy tank with agressive eaters she would starve. She does like to pick on a Manila clam.

Oh speaking of feeding fresh clams.. Always break open or freeze the clam first to kill it. I didn't, and came home to one of my filefish's noses stuck in the clam. He wasn't especially impressed to say the least.
