    I was thinking about getting a copperband for my 75 gal, Im aware it likes to eat feather dusters, but will my frog spawn and pulsating xenia be okay or is this all luck of the draw when it comes to these fish? I hear most people dont have a problem with their coppers eating corals, what about you guys?

    I have heard they are really hard to keep and require a tank that fits right into their needs! As for the coral, if you adore one coral in your tank, i wouldn't take any chances!

    CB butterflies are reef safe with the exception of clams and feather dusters. If you buy one that is already eating prepared foods greedily, you will not have an issue with survival of this fish.
