I just purchased a Doliatus Rabbitfish (two barred rabbit), and I was wondering who has one and what do you usually feed them? He seems to like mysis, brine, and some frozen spirulina algae that I feed my Lamark Angel. Should I feed it some Nori on a clip?? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It really is a beautiful fish and I plan on keeping it as healthy as possible.

Mine eats everything now but was very picky when I first got him. He eats nori, all the gel foods, mysis, blood worms, krill, and spectrum pellets. About the only thing he hasn't eaten is spirulina flake. He has really fattened up after getting quite skinny and is very bold now, just a great fish. Here is a pic of him hanging with his buddy, a mimic tang, both of these guys are about 2 inches long.

When I first got mine he was really skinny. Here he is in my QT:
I had a bunch of Macro Algae in my QT that he constantly grazed on and it really fattened him up. Now that he is in my display tank he is constantly picking at the LR. He also is eating a large patch of Dictyota that has been growing on my LR. That was actually why I purchased him.
Here he is eating the Dictyota:
When I feed my other fish he eats frozen Brine and Mysis.
