He isnt going to eat for a while after the shock of moving him from another tank. Let him be for a couple days. After 5 or so days try feeding frozen again. This works with a lot of preds. There gut takes over and they get brave and eat. If it doesnt eat after a full week then give in and give him some live and try again.

After much reading and really looking at my lil guy, I decided he's way to thin. Doubt he's eaten in awhile. Each evening he's been attacking a small ghost shrimp that I've been soaking food in vitamins. Can you tell what's hanging out of his mouth?!?!

Just make sure ypu don't overfeed him. I've read that can be almost as bad as not eating enough.

So far so good. Every couple days I catch him and put him in an acclimation container and give him a ghost shrimp loaded up and release him back after he's eaten.

that looks really cool, you have her in a reef tank with no problem with the corals?
