hmmmm.... copperbands are difficult fishes to feed. although some reefers including me have success with them, the vast majority of them don't feed well. unless u can get 1 that is feeding on prepared foods, i won't reccomend this.

also be aware that not every copperband will take aiptasias.

After the aptasia problem, then what happened to the copperband butterfly? I would say not advisable as they are difficult fishes to keep and often reject prepared food and would eventually die of hunger if not released back to the ocean (since this species can be found commonly in our waters). It is a beautiful fish but personally, sad to see this fish being caught and sold in our LFS.

A few peppermint shrimps or Joe Juice may be better options IMO.
