Why do you think the Copperband was able to survive 1-2 years then die? I have also heard before that many can get a Copperband to live for 1 year then they pass away. It seems like people attribute it to eating issues but I am not sure.
I would guess part of it was most of the aiptasia it could get to were consumed. These were not in my home tanks ever, but clients tanks. Usually I utilize autofeeders with pellets, and rely on the client to feed frozen. So sometimes it’s a bit of a mystery how much they are really eating that isn’t growing in the tank. Other than that no real ideas. Didn’t seem to get bullied by other fish
