What is the best food for my foxface?

[jfingers088]

I tried leaving dulse for him on a clip but when he doesn't eat it my mexican turbo's eat it so don't really want to be doing that what else could i give him that is good for his diet? Ive had him for 2 days by the way.

try lots of veggies, like nori

Rubberband some algae sheets, nori etc on a rock and stick it on the bottom, he will find it...

will he eventually eat out of my hand?

Calurpa is good also. I can put a handful in my tank and my Foxface will finish it off in a day or two.

Mine eats pretty much anything I put in the tank veggies, mysis shrimp, squid, formula 1 & 2. I'm sure mine would eat out of my hand but I don't like him getting that close.

Yeah, mine eats Brine Shrimp Plus and loves it. Sometimes I'll let them go for a few days so they're hungry, then I'll dose a Formula 2 with garlic so they get their vitamins.
Eating out of your hand? You know they're venomous. I've been stung and it hurt pretty bad.
