I have 2, they never touch my SPS or LPS

They r a very timid and nice fish to have. Also help to redue aptasia

Copper band loves to feed on shells and partically corals like the brain. My previous 2 copperband can consumed a whole brain coral of about 8 cm diameter, within a week. It also occasionally likes to peck on the tube worms

I used to have a copperband which I bought to help to consume aiptasia years back. When there is no more aiptasia, my tube worm, then zoas started to vanish.

I manage to catch the fellow before more damages.
