Movement. They like to go after food that is moving, whether it's live or moving in a current.
+1 They go nuts over live blackworms. I've also had exceptionally good luck feeding new anthias just pellets. I use NLS, but LFS I advise (and trust) swears by Sustainable Aquatics Hatchery Diet pellets to get anthias & wrasses eating.

Good deal. I'm sorry about the rest. Hopefully you can get this one fattened up and healthy, then try to get him a friend or two.

Unfortunately, it is what it is. I probably won't order anymore of these because of how many casualties it's caused. Definitely makes me feel like crap and not doing my part in making this hobby sustainable.
I would try again. Just don't use CP on anthias again. We only learn by doing.

For what it's worth, I've had great success lately feeding anthias frozen fish eggs and mixing in mysis I got from my LFS. They seem to love the movement of chasing them down in the current. I am sorry for your loss of them, my last few attempts with anthias have seen similarly frustrating - it's only until this last round that Im finally having success.
All of my other's were lost to Velvet though. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Sorry for your loss, you tried everything.
