Hey Jess how is that?
The last 2 CBB I've purchased I've kept alive and they don't eat corals. My last CBB did pick at clams tho. But he never did once eat corals.
I successfully kept him for over 2 years. Until one day when I added to many fish at one time and cause the CBB to stop eating.
This new CBB I have had for going on 4 months. He's putting on weight and eats like a pig. He even eat from my hands and lefts me touch him/pick him up. I got him cause I was having an aptaisa problem. At first he would touch aptaisas and I was po'ed. But one day I noticed were starting to disappear. With in 3 days he ate every aptaisa in a 300 gallon.
Soon he will have a double chin like my tangs.
Word of advice
Don't buy a small one. I've never had a small one live. I'm not sailing it can't be done but the small CBB seem so much more delicate.
Also u better have a lot of rock work for the CBB to feed off until u can get him trained to eat frozen foods. The CBBs main source of food will be tube works until he can get trained to eat other foods.
