I introduced my cbb about 43 days ago to my 75 gal and he eats PE mysis aggressively. He eats off the water column since the day I got him so I had virtually zero trouble keeping him. He sometimes eats little chunks of rods food but mostly only eats PE mysis. He sometimes paces up and down on the glass which has me a little concerned but when he’s not, he looks for food and pecks on the rock. I’m managing ich right now by adding vitamins and fats in his food and also feeding heavier.

 
He looks fine from what I can see, but I'm not a disease expert (I don't see any flashing or any other unusual behavior, though). If he's eating that's always a good sign even if it's just mysis).
 
That fish is fine but very stressed. That tank is not set up for copperbands. It is way to new and clean and there are no "proper" copperband hiding places. They hide and rest a lot and need a secure and tight hiding place where he can't see you and you can't see through to the back of the tank.

They need to get out of sight most of the time they are not eating.
You can see here how they get out of sight for most of the time. They do the same thing in the sea.
