    I'd heat the tank to 79 to help stimulate its metabolism and stop feeding it you may mess the water up and copper Thats not the issue even if there is one . Fish have good days and bad days we have fish to not be seen for several days and I hear Ohhhh this is MIA or that one is gone and a day later here they are out doing fish tank stuff. You could be adding to its stress looking for it also.. Maybe leave the lights off for a day or not ? Just let it be .Give it some time. It may be its just fine ? Our coral beauty here will not be seen for days..

    Butterflies as far as im aware are very difficult to keep. Finnicky eaters! Its a shame that the most beautful and expensive fish, will drop it given any opportunity too.
    Hope the CB gets better mate
