Feeding a Seahorse

I have a male seahorse in a 29 gallon Biocube tank. The only other tank mates are 3 peppermint shrimp to keep the aipatsia (sp?) at bay. Currently he eats only live brine shrimp but has showed decreased interest in them and I haven't actually seen him feed for a few days. We don't have a dish set up for him and would like to give that a try. Could anyone give me some insight or pictures as to how to accomplish this. I am going to give garlic a try tomorrow, but want to keep my options open.
 
Brine shrimp is a very poor diet. You need to be feeding mainly mysis as well as other foods. If he will not eat other foods at least gut load the adult brine with something like Spirolina to give him a bit more nutrition. But please get him onto mysis as soon as possible.

You can use many things for a feeding dish. Anything from a glass bowl to a pretty shell.
