typical...they usually dont until they have been in the tank for a couple of weeks or sometimes a month or more. it depends on parameters, lighting, and its previous food source also, IME.
try frozen mysis, silverside or mysids after a coulpe of weeks and see if that will intice it. good luck and just be patient is my advice.

It should be ok just to put it under some good light, They really don't need to be fed unless you want them to get large fast. Just let it get used to your water perameters and then maybe feed it once a month or so. What lighting do you have?
