Need advice for trunkfish feeding habits

[scubabr53]

Hello reefers, does anyone kept or still have smoth trunkfish in the tank? I can?t figure out what to feed this fish with. I tried brine shrimp, small Hanks of table shrimp and live musles. No luck, can anyone advise or digest a trick for fish to start eating?

Try clam meat. Chop it up into small pieces and feed it that way. Another would be and try and get some small live shrimp, like ghost shrimp.

I purchased a marine betta on February 9th and wouldn't eat anything I offered. I got some ghost shrimp, gut loaded them and he devoured them. I didn't feed for 3 days tried frozen mysis shrimp again and still nothing, feed more ghost shrimp and another 3 day no food and tried the mysis and nothing again, gave more ghost shrimp and as of the 21st it's been eating the frozen mysis shrimp.. Hope this helps, good luck!

Thanks everyone for advice. Where will I get live ghost shrimp?

I purchased some from Petsmart and Petco. The ones from Petsmart seemed to be healthier and last longer, still have two from them in my freshwater system.
