Give him some time to get used to your tank. Also you might try a variety of food like mytis or brine shrimp. Some people have success by soaking food in a garlic additive from your lfs.
 
Alot of wild caught cardinals will only eat Copepods....so hopefully you have some in your tank that it can hunt...
Other than that, frozen mysis is you best best...just offer it once or twice a day and eventually he will take it...
