Fish addition

[haigyfish]

Hey y’all deciding if I should add a Copperband butterfly to my tank, it is GOing for $45 and looks very healthy.
I currently have two Gobis
1 YWMG
1 filefish
Pair of clownfish
As well as bristle green starfish and cleaner shrimp.
Would this be a good addition or should I go for a purple dart fish instead?

Cubicus boxfish are cute but also very difficult and at some point shut down, stop eating and you can guess what follows. I would Not recommend

I think I will just add more nassarius snails because I already have one peanut snail and maybe 2 More turbos on top of the 3 I have. Although would a rainbow slug be a good addition to this reef tank. Should I be worried about it’s toxic death? I am deciding between a Midas blenny and a slug. I know they are completely different but I want to get one before the other.

Is there any complications housing a file fish and a Copperband together in a 40 gallon. They both seem to love to pick

Should not be but filefish can be nippers

Is it hard to get the Copperband on frozen? The guy said he eats small pieces of frozen but I don’t believe that I have bbs hatching every other day to feed
