What to feed a Coral Beauty?

[shawn_dude]

I've have a Coral Beauty for about 6 days now and I haven't seen him eat. He picks on the LR and glass but does not accept meaty food or seaweed. I have tried Nori, a variety of fresh seaweed and mysis. Tomorrow I will try freshly hatched brine shrimp. Any suggestions?

mine doesnt pick things out of the water colum he waits until it hits the rocks or gravel and then picks it up. when he picks on the glass he is pulling algae off the the galss if I dont clean the front glass you can see little round kisses so to speak of clean glass all over that he ate.

Mine eats a DIY mix of food. Ground up shrimp, fish, krill, and nori. Seems to eat everything in the mix both off the rocks and in mid air.
Hope yours starts to eat soon. They're a beautiful fish.
Good Luck!

it depends on what the LPS was feeding them. Ask them to give you a sample of their food. Slowly migrate from their feed to yours.
I've found the worse the LPS food was the easire it was for my fish to appreciate my food.
