I just picked up a banner fish a couple of days ago. From what I've heard, they are reef safe, but I've spotted this guy picking at my corals. I've been feeding flakes and brine shrimp. He goes after the shrimp, and then spits it back out. Doesn't usually try the flakes. Should I try feeding him something else?

Also if you can get hold of some live brine shrimp, fish love to eat them alive. Then after they eat the live ones they might start eating frozen food.
Hope he starts eating soon,goodluck.
