Default Re: apastia anemones in overflow?

Ok, nitrates are now under control after adding a dsb and lots of water changes. It now holds steady at 5ppm, all other levels are great and stable as well.

So, I only have a percula clown now, I beleive I lost my angel because of whatever chemical was used to catch him, he was perfect until he just up and disappeared one day....

Anyways, I would love to get these dern aptasia under control, and want to get a copperband butterfly. I completely understand they can be finicky eaters and my plan is to get one from the lfs I go to (not the same one I got my angel from btw) that i can actually see eating mysis or whatever they get it to eat.

Any suggestions/advice on caring for this butterfly other than the food? For example, is our cat, who likes to jump to try to catch the fish, going to scare it to death or am I going to have to break out the water bottle to squirt the cat?

Thanks!
