    Default Will Copperbanded eat other anemones?

    Will the copperbanded butterfly eat carpet or bubble anemone? I was just wondering since I see that it likes to eat aptasia-- I wouldn't want one if it eats the other anemones too---

    It may, but generally stays toi those similar to aptaisia... yellow polyps, some mojanos, and even feather dusters. Stranger things have happened, but I sincerely think that the size of the anemone will play an extremely large role.
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying

    #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I love the look of a coperband, But me and my father have had 3 so far, and they never seem to do well in out tanks, The first on lasted about a month he ate very well but one day he just dissaperd. The other 2 we bought to control out HUGE asaptia outbreak and i mean there was alot of food for him so they had lots of food but both didnt last night #ed_op#IMG src="/richedit/smileys/10.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

    #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#They might nip them but im pretty sure they wouldnt eat them! They even tend to stay away from bigger aptsaia but that is just my opinion#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

    they will not nip at an anenome but they will devour feather dusters and the one I have likes green star polyps. but other than that he is awesome. allways cruising around picking stuff off of the rocks. I have only had him a few days but I hope he does well.
