I got a CBB this weekend and although he is picking and somewhat eating PE Mysis. I would like to know what your CBBs favorite food might be.

I had one, for several years, that never even looked at any corals, luckily. It ate all frozen foods that I offered it and did wonders on my Aiptasia! The food I mainly fed was Rods Food Original Diet.

How easy or hard are the CBB. I would like one but hear they can be difficult?

Surf&turf · Nov 15, 2011

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I got it some black worms yesterday and it eats them like a pig. Now if I can get him to eat frozen mysis everthing will be good.

I have a marginalis. He definitely prefers strips of pure meat like scallop or shrimp, over prickly shrimp like mysis, especially ones that still have legs and antenna and such.
