Ain't many fishes in the ocean that _won't_ eat copepods...

The clown goby I used to have would eat just about anything. Flake food, small pellets, frozen mysis... just about anything else that would drift past him.

Congrats on a cool new fish!

Mine eat most frozen foods. Brine shrimp is a favorite right now. But depends on size. Brine shrimp may me too big...

Everything eats copepods, but there are only a select few varieties that can depend on them as their primary food source (ie mandarins/dragonets, Leopard Wrasses) and they need lots of them (ie thousands per week). If you are using them as a supplement then that's one thing, but they definitely need other food. I would use LRS Reef Frenzy for starters and if that doesn't work then I would use the same but just add a drop of Kent's Garlic to it and that should at least induce feeding.
