Tips of feeding boxfish

[starrynight99]

I'm having trouble feeding our black spotted box fish. We got him 2 days ago and only found out afterwards that he is a difficult eater.

So far, we've tried garlic infused mysis, brine shrimp, marine mix. I have some blood worm we haven't tried yet.
I've tried target feeding him with teh coral feeder but he has no interest in food despite it floating past his face.

any tips? It's about 2.5-3inches in size. thank you

What other fish are in the tank?
If they’re feeding you could use them to your advantage.

It should go for Hikari frozen clams; I had a pair for a while and the clams were what got them eating to start. After that, they were pigs.

Try masstick smooshed on a piece of live rock. I used to have a boxfish 2 years back and he ate that readily. Boxfish are benthic feeders and later you can give him repashy also.
