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?!?!

looks like a shrimps antennae... at least whenever my fish ever ate a shrimp thats what i saw.
 
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.
 
Ok guys. Lil advise needed. Don't know if I have a Warty problem. He has lil white specs on him. Is this normal or ick? Will post a pic
 
Well. Update. She's a teenager now. She managed to sneak up to a chromi that wasn't doing well and are it. I've never seen a belly that big before!!!
 
that looks really cool, you have her in a reef tank with no problem with the corals?
