    I have a large Raccoon Butterfly, Seabae Clown and a few Damsels in my tank. Just recently added a new Raccoon Butterfly. I have a 120 gallon tank with tons of Aiptasia all over my live rocks. I have probably around 200 - 300 aiptasia in my tank. My tank has been up and running for over 6 years. Anyways, any tips on getting this Raccoon to eat or will the Aiptasia on the rocks be enough.

    This is a risk but I would try a CBB. I had one and it cleared my aptasia I had on my rocks. I think that was the only thing that kept him alive because he wouldn't eat anything else.

    My Raccoon Butterfly fish has taken out over 200 Aiptasia within 4 days unbelieveable. Thank you for the tip but the copper bands are way to hard to take care of compaired to the Raccoons.. TRUST ME!!!
