I got this black leopard wrasse and he won't eat mysis. Right now he's in qt with live rock and sand. I've been feeding him pods and live baby brine which he eats. I also got him 2 days ago and I'm about to go to my lfs to get some more frozen food I was just wondering what to get?
What to feed leopard wrasse?

Mysis is what i usually use to get mine eating as they mostly prey on small inverts all day long. Then I move to broadspectrum frozen and pellets. Was this leopard eating in the store/ what was it eating?
No he wasn't eating but I bought him anyways because I can just feed him live stuff. Also I'm treating prazi pro rn for internal paracites. But yes I've tried to feed mysis.
yet to have one that didn't eat cyclops or mini-bloodworms
Really hard to get these guys eating prepared foods unless they are already eating in store. I would go with live brine shrimp and blackworms if they are around, then switch to frozen brine/mysis, then broad spectrum frozen, then pellets
Hes definitely eating I just fed live brine but I can't get blackworms there's a drought where the farms r so there hard to come by
Yea he did eat a blood worms I'll have to try some other foods I heard that blood worms aren't good long term because they don't have what the wrasse needs in it
Yea I heard that's a way to get them on frozen and they really like reef frenzy but my lfs didn't have any so I was wondering what else to feed or if there's something in there they really like
Yea blackworms have been really hard to find rn and its annoying. I would try live adult brine shrimp as they are larger and closer in size to mysis, some LFS have them already hatched and larger. Not as nutritious but should be fine while transitioning
