lionfish what food for TUSK?

[panchito]

I just picked a tusk from my lfs, and was wondering what should i start feeding him? i have read that it is hard for them to start feeding. they just got it in so im not sure what it is use to eating (they sell like hotcakes down here so he called me when it came in)I picked him up for $67 dont think it was a bad deal. let me know
thanks

to get him to eat try live/frozen shrimp. after mine ate thathe eat anything. but you must undertand this theory, once you feed them a bunch of brine shrimp (the sutff they like) they start to think that anything that enters the tank is food. and then they will eat anything.when i feed mine silversides he takes about 2 in his mouth and goes in the corner and eats them by himself. aweomse fish, which one did you get a aussie or a indo?

i think mine is the indo one, he picked out a rock kicked out the damsel and is hiding in there. really kewl fish really happy i got it.
