blue hippo question

[jetmech_05]

Hello all, I got a small blue hippo yesterday and can't get it to eat. I've tried live brine, flake and mysis shrimp. I've also added garlic to the brine and it still wont eat. Am I feeding it the wrong foods?
It is only 2.5 inches long and I really don't want to lose this one.
Thanks

They are very shy. Give it time to adjust.

My tang didn't eat for a few days after I got him. He was scared of my seaweed clip. After a week maybe, he started eating, and after that, he became a pig. As soon as I put the clip in the water now, he is ripping it up. He also eats meaty foods like nuts when I feed the tank. Yours probably just needs a little time to get comfortable in the tank.

try leaving a piece of nori in the tank so that it has something available longer than just a few minutes a day. hopefully it's just a temporary issue.
