If you don’t have/care about zoas or meaty corals, get a Klein Butterfly. She eats aiptasias and normal food. Also, she is beautiful with a personality!

Lots of people keep the fish happy. For more success a slow acclimation to get PH adjusted really helps.

It's all about finding a healthy specimen, getting it to eat prepared foods and keeping it in a large enough space. Shipping does a lot of damage to these fish, so that's the first hurdle. I've seen plenty of healthy cbb in tanks.

I agree with Drexel that the biggest hurdle with CBB is getting it to eat and then giving it ample space with no one bullying it.

I've kept mine happy now for a good while but it's in a tank with an angel and a basslet and I feed it nori and frozen mysis and frozen spirulina brine everyday so it's happy eating those. I also buy live amphipods couple times per year for it to have supplemental snacks that it can hunt during the day.

lol yes of course that’s the hardest part getting them to eat.

Any butterfly with a large rostrum can and usually suffers from injuries during shipping, then they go to wholesalers who now pack fish in tiny, gnarly spaces in compromised water. Now, you can almost guarantee that any fish from a wholesaler will have flukes at minimum. It’s a wonder that most of these fish make it to LFS.
