Copper Banded Butterfly

I fell in love with a CBB at a local fish store and I looked at it for weeks before deciding to buy it (I also watched it eat).... I got it home and three days later I was having a hard time getting it to eat but it did show interest in blood worms but nothing else and has no signs of ICH or anything so I moved it to my big tank (I know that they may nip at corals but I was willing t\o risk it). The problem is that the CBB now seems VERY interested in my feather dusters and coco worms... is this common? will it continue? HELP ME lol: ;dk

PS he seems to get along with everyone but the featherdusters. and my water tests perfect.

Rarely do CBB's cause any real destruction of corals, I'm not sure about featherdusters. Most people buy these to control aiptasia (pest anemones). Hopefully it just a nip every now and then.

I'm hoping he chills out on the dusters.... but he seems pretty intent on eating my coco worms lol
