CBB not taking live blackworms

[Fishmommy]

This is my second CBB attempt. The first one learned quickly to take live blackworms from a turkey baster but died suddenly after a few months despite being well fed.

This one I got from a fellow reefer who swore it was eating "everything" and when I picked it up it certainly looked fat and healthy.
However, once in my tank all it does is surf the glass and refuse all attempts to feed. I have tried mussel, mysis, pe mysis, frozen cyclops, frozen blackworms, reef frenzy, flake, pellets, and live blackworms. It approaches the turkey baster but will not eat from it. Floating food is ignored. I have also tried garlic guard soaking of all these foods. All my other fish are obese at this point Lol.

Suggestions on different technique for feeding the live blackworms?
I have been working with this fish for 6 weeks with no luck. I would hate to lose it.

Do you witness the cbb scoping out the rock, or hunting around the rock or substrate for something to eat. If all the fish is doing is aimlessly swimming and scared, something may be wrong internally.

When I first got my cbb, I was referred to this article:

On page 6 of the magazine here, it shows the pvc tube I made and put a cube of mysis and some blackworms in and he ate from it right away.
He was always eating and actively hunting when I got him though.
Good luck

Ooh, great idea. I will try that, He hunts a little, though not nearly as much as the other one I had. hopefully this will work.

Day 2 using the pvc feeder. Not working yet but I will persevere. My kole tang thinks it is awesome.
