Tips for getting Foxface to eat

[AllSignsPointToFish]

Does anyone have any ideas how to get a foxface lo to eat while in quarantine? He's been in quarantine since Friday night, but I haven't actually observed him eating. I've tried brine shrimp, veggie flakes, lettuce, compressed algae wafers and nori.

He looks fine, but I would love to entice him to eat something.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

You put Nori on a rock with a rubber band?

Yeah. I was going to try some garlic tonight just to see if that would make a difference.

Try adding garlic to the food and using reef cuisine or mysis shrimp. Also, you might want to call the pet shop you got it from and see what they were feeding the Foxface.

I have not tried mysis shrimp, only brine shrimp. I figured that if he didn't eat the brine shrimp, he would probably forego the mysis as well.

My Mag Foxface, along with every fish in my tank at this point, eats nori. I use 2 different holders in separate locations so everyone gets there fill. :)

He's in the QT with a flame hawk, so there's no competition for the nori :)

Seaweed/Nori and LRS Reef Frenzy are what my One Spot eats. Soak the food in a drop of garlic if all else fails.

The mysis worked! Yay :)

I saw him eat 4-5 larger ones right in front of me. Still working on the nori, but at least he's eating something.

It’s amazing how sometimes it’s harder to get your fish to eat than your kids
