I haven't seen this guy even look at any food I have put in the tank in the last 5 months, he is getting very skinny. Only tankmates are a pair of ORA false percs and a royal gramma. So far I have tried Nori sheets, Formula 2 flake, prime reef flake, rods food (herb and reg) Hakari frozen Brine and Mysis, hakari small pellets, OSI spirulina flake, and PE mysis. Very little algae in the tank, but he seems to pick up some here and there, spends all day grazing the rocks. I never clean the glass since he has been looking frail. All my buddies have fat, bratwurst looking lawnmowers. I see him poo ocassionally so I know he is eating something. Any ideas?
 
Try live brine shrimp. I have the same issue.
