Yeah, I agree...it takes new fish a few days to acclimate and feel comfortable. What are you trying to feed him? If the frozen foods don't entice him, trying throwing a few small reef crabs in the tank to see if he tries to eat them.

They're not invert safe... and he already has other fish that aren't invert safe.

Hopefully he starts to eat for you. He may be eating, you just don't see him when he does.

He probably thinks you're going to eat him! It takes fish a long time to figure out we mean them no harm.

Awesome! Let's hope he keeps it up. Live food usually consists of ghost shrimp.
