What to feed my RBTA

[jarrett shark]

got him 2 weeks ago and feeding krill 2x a week. But when I hand feed I think its grabs it but always find krill in socks so want something that will not float

give him some time to settle he may not take food right away.Try mysis first something small. I have 6 anemones in my tank, once settled and healthy should eat most anything but nothing to big in size. Mine eat anything from table shrimp, pellets, mysis, mussels, and every once in a while a dead fish from my tank I have a RBTA that I bought at a LFS and was bleached Im nursing it back to health and it only eats mysis maybe once a week if that, so give it time.

For those who feed silversides do you cut them in pieces and feed them or feed them as whole?

Cut them up into 1/8" to 1/4" portions, depending on the size of the anemone.

I feed all my BTA a finely chopped mix (pretty much a slurry) of shrimp, clam, scallop, tuna, squid, and other raw seafood from the grocery store. The mix gets frozen into thin sheets and I break a piece off when I want to feed them. It gets thawed in tank water and fed to them with a turkey baster. This is actually what I feed all my lps corals too.
