Assuming you're looking at the reef safe version Heniochus diphreutes they are nice mild mannered schoolers and should get along fine despite the similar shape if it is first in the tank.

If you already have a copperband established in your tank it may not accept the newcomer readily depending on how much space is available but neither are big time aggressive.

It's a 135g and i believe the false idol is substantially larger than cbb, if that matters.  Thanks for input!

I wouldn't think you would have a problem in that case ,but of course there are never ayny guarantees. Make sure you're getting a properly identified Heniochus as I have seen them mistaken in stores before though usually with small ones.  As well as not being reef safe the regular B&W Heniochus can get pretty nippy IME, despite what you might read.
