Well I finally did what I said I wouldnt do and bought a CBB from LFS today. They got it in for me and I waited one week before deciding to bring it home. The new tank is doing good and since my trigger didnt survive the g/f assault I decided to give it a try. Just as I figured it decimated the small feather dusters in my tank in a matter of minutes. I traded off the colorful large feather dusters long ago in anticipation of getting a cbb so all that was left were little hitchhiker ones and man that fish enjoyed them! 30 minutes after being in the tank every small aptasia in there is gone! There were atleast 10 that I could see and now I cant find any. Atleast he is cruising around munching which I see as a good sign now to try and get him eating mysis or bloodworms and if that is a sucess I will be one happy guy. This picture is really crappy, will take more later but still working on putting house back together and strapped for time.

Live black mussels are also a great thing to feed a CBB. Not sure how available they are in Andrews but try looking for them at one of the larger grocery store in Midland or Odessa. Don't feed any that are dead.
