Unexpected CBB

So, I’ve wanted a cbb since starting in this hobby ( says the only in the hobby a year newb), but have shied away reading how difficult they can be. I got excited recently about getting one agin after reading about advancements in captive breeding of them. My excitement got the better of me finding one for sale that was said to be eating frozen but being bullied by its previous owners powder brown tang. Couldn’t pass up trying for only $40 an local to me. Acclimated earlier and all are getting along. Wish us both luck.

Getting one from a fellow reefer probably gives you better odds. One of our favorite fishes and keeps our display absolutely aiptasia free.

I would get rid of my filefish for one of those. Very nice fish and controls Aiptasia.

Sadly, I think I beat all of you guys to it... Sent PM to SenorBubs on Monday afternoon, corresponded with him throughout that evening, and we were just arranging when to pick up. Even sent me his address. He didn't reply to my last message that night, then next afternoon it's gone.

Wow that great. Good luck. I thinking I should just pick one up. I had one before in my last tank and it was healthy.
I would feed it LRS and clams.

I was surprised I got it. The seller never responded to my post or pm. He called me out of the blue Tues morning. Went and got it oblivious as to what else was going on. Chatted with him a bit. Nice guy but I guess no forum savvy, it really should have gone to @brokereefer. Funny how so many of us were trying to get the same fish.
