Any advice on getting a pair of ORA Radial filefish to eat?

I've had them for 5 days. So far I've tried Rods food, spectrum pellets, flake, Eco eggs, hikari mysis, and frozen cyclopeeze. All they seem to do is hang out face down at the bottom of the tank. Tank is a nanocube 24 with about 40 lbs of liverock, and some Xenia. I added a large fake bamboo plant from an old freshwater tank temporarily thinking they would feel more secure with something to hide in. They are the only fish in the tank. Thanks for any help. Really don't want to lose these guys.

of fish whose recommended tank size is 30g for 1?

try brine shrimp if you can find live maybe?

good luck

Considering Kevin Kohen kept an adult pair in a 28 gallon reef for about 4 years I'm not too concerned that these fish that are maybe 1.5 inches each are at all overcrowded.

Forgot to mention that I had also tried live brine yesterday with no response.
