Coral Beauty Not Feeding
hi all.
I have just purchased a coral beauty from a friend who works at a wholesale facility and I can't get him to eat. I know that he/ she was caught overseas and has only been in Australia for just over a week.
I have the fish in a 100 litre quarantine tank with established filtration, macro algae and a small Roland's damsel as a tank mate (the damsel is very shy at this stage). I have tried the coral beauty with live brine, nori, frozen mysis, frozen brine and there are loads of pods in the tank with him.
His behaviour seems quite good, strong colours and is cruzing around the tank quite boldly. I have just started to notice his belly starting to look empty from not eating. He does seem to graze on the algae on rocks and on the glass and he did pick at some live brine but spat them out.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I really don't want to loose him/her.
Cheers
Dave
