I never see the Chromis beating up on each other............when one of the Chromis turns up with nasty wounds and missing eyes, the others seem to ignore him..........and then usually I won't see that Chromis after the next night. I have to admit that I am assuming that the CBS is the culprit. |

My CBS is a sweetie, never harms a thing. I've had her since she was just a tiny little thing (she's HUGE now) and all she's ever done is hang out in her cave waiting for tidbits. She tends to come out at night to pick over the reef for anything the fish may have missed, but doesn't bother corals or fish in the process.

I have a 4"+ CB in my tank that doesn't bother anything, including my hand or 8 other fish that he could easily get a hold of. Might have something to do with the fact that I keep his belly full. However, he appears to be the exception. Every other CB I've seen are mean little buggers.

I've caught mine before. It wasn't too hard, took a few tries though. I shooed him out of the rocks with a turkey baster and continued "encouraging" him to crawl into a clear plastic breeder (Lee's Three-way Breeder) with a long handled scraper. The breeder was positioned on the bottom of the tank, sideways on end. I used the lid to help make a corral and just closed it once he was in.
It may have helped that the breeder was clear and perforated at the bottom making it harder for him to know it was there. |

Got a CBS and blood red, 2 peppermint, pipefish shrimp and a cleaner in a 65 for 8-10 months now with no problems.

I agree, i have never had problems with my CBS, it just hangs out under one of the rocks waiting for me to feed it every few days... and its in a tank that has a Clown that is about 1/4 the size of the CBS

Yep CBS are great! They seem to do better when they are in a pair tho, they are greedy little buggers too :-)
