Moorish Idol and Nori

[JDapper]

So I decided to try my luck with a Moorish Idol and he is eating pellets out of the water column and off the sand but won’t go for the Nori on the clip or mysis! Any tips and tricks to get him to eat the nori and mysis?

Mine only eats nori when he's hungry and would far prefer meaty type foods. I feed the nori before the mysids/meaty food to force him to eat it. I'd guess once he settles in and is eating really well he will be more aggressive to the nori. It took a while for mine to become a truly aggressive eater

He started eating the mysis and brine mixed with the angel food with sponge in it today but still hasn’t gone for the nori and I know they need nori to survive so hopefully he goes after it soon
