I got a regular ORA Ocellaris and a b/w or Darwin ORA Ocellaris from live aquaria on Friday and I haven’t been able to get them to eat anything. I’ve tried frozen music shrimp and mini marine pellets. They’ll go up to the food, which is plenty small enough for them to eat, and smell it but not eat it. They’re each about 1.25 inches and have been in the tank for about 4 days. It’s a 10 gallon nano so I take the food out after a while so it doesn’t spoil the water. I have a jebao sw2 running on low and I make sure to turn that off before feeding. Does anyone know any methods to get them to eat? All advice is much appropriated.
 
I know this is an old post but did you ever get them to eat I bought two I’ve had 3 day from live aquaria Ora and they’re doing the same thing they turn away from new life spectra pellets and 5 different types of frozen foods. They don’t looked starved but deff not full bellies
