Cooper banded angel not eating

Live blackworms, live brine. Those two are critical to get these guys eating, as is keeping stress down.
Plus one although I see you said live black worms were a fail. Many fish will eat those right away, but some will only eat them after several days of trying. I had one butterfly not eat for weeks close to a month, then finally tried a lbw and it was like magic all of a sudden.
 
With the clams, you can freeze them on the half shell, when they are frozen they cut really easy really thin cuts so it's still attached but stringy for the fish to pick at. That should work when all else fails.

Yes this is true they may not work for days and then out of nowhere the copperband butterfly will just annihilate them
 
Final update. Boy when they say it takes time for these fish to acclimate it is so true. Woke up to a new fish. Fed ravenously on my mysis this am. Now taking nori from a clip. I am so happy and thanks to those who gave me their input.
Time to fatten this guy/gal up
