mysis and bloodworms are probably your best bet. i hope you have a lot of pods to keep him healthy until/if he weens on frozen.
also, frozen brine may work, youll just have to fortify the heck out of it with vitamines. or you can hatch your own.
good luck!

i have a dragonfce in my 10 gall the tank is about a year old it has about 15 pound of LR from my oldest tank (2 years) and sand from it as well.. the filter is a AC 30 that has been DIY'd and is now a fuge with a DSB and some chaetomorph.. he get's no supplimental feeding, the occasional cylops-eeze and BBS
the pipe is in with a high-fin banded goby and a pistol shrimp.. as i move my fish into a 72 bow i am planning the pipe will move over into my oldest tank which will then be empty
ill probably get a little flaming for this post
