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.

Man....everyone looks for Aiptasia eaters. The BEST way IMHO is to nuke em with Muriatic acid. It works awesome AND u don't have to worry about introducing a potential coral eater to ur system

I bought 3 peppermints when I had an aiptasia problem last year. Combined with syringe+lemon juice (for the big ones), it did the job within a month and my rocks are all now aiptasia free. Only one shrimp left now (lost one in the tank move, the other I'm not sure), rarely see it unless I look for it with a flashlight in the rocks.
Not sure how CBB does with aiptasia, from what I've read it's hit/miss, like many other options. My CBB forages and hunts around the tank all the time though.
