I bought 2 Onyx Clownfish a couple days ago. I noticed the smaller one will go after pretty much anything I put in the tank, but the slightly larger one will not eat anything. I have tried frozen brine and mysis shrimp, frozen bloodworms, pellets and flakes. I tried soaking the food in garlic as well. It will basically try a piece of whatever I put in and spit it out or swim up to it and then move on. Not sure what to try....maybe live brine shrimp to start?

Would love some suggestions!

I feed live brine soaked in garlic to my Onyx and they devour it. I've also tried Ken's premium krill pellets which they also like as well.
