+1 if you can't find those try frozen bloodworms.I find live black worms to be the best to get finicky fish to start eating.
Yep try live black worms. Masstick has worked for me, even rocks with some tube worms on them along with a healthy pod population. You can even try clam on half shell but the pieces may be too big for its mouth. Make sure to not leave in the clam in the tank for too long, it can foul water quality pretty quick in a QT tank.

I used live black worms to get mine feeding and he now happily feeds from my spot-feeder. I could probably feed him by hand now. Don’t give up!
I would skip the blood worms as they are a bit large for their mouths and aren’t a native food for their diet.
Where do you find live blackworms? I am trying to feed mine as well.
My old man had one for about 9 years before a tank crash, sounds crazy but it would eat if the cube was still frozenish and he could pick what he wanted off it.
Granted the tank was old and had plenty of live natural food as well.
Hey X I saw your post and wanted to share what feeding tube I used. I put in some LRS reef frenzy and mysis and they started picking right away. Was also able to get my Copperband to eat Masstick. The tube came from an AquaMedic fish trap.can i see the feeding tube you have?i have noticed this morning with lights off he was looking around a rock i guess hunting. but he is not eating anything off the QT bottom.
