I got a Foxface Rabbit Fish a few weeks ago and it doesn't seem like he eats much. He picks at algae occasionally but I have tried Nori Strips (which he completely ignores) and the algae pellets which he goes to eat and spits out. Any ideas or advice? I've never had a Rabbit Fish before so I'm not sure if he is just "satisficed" from the algae hes eating or if something is wrong. He is otherwise healthy.

Try some frozen cubes or LRS, my Foxface Lo and Gold Spot Rabbitfishes eat like utter pigs. Prolly just needs some enticing.

The Lo didn't touch nori for the first few months I had him. Now a sheet is gone within minutes.

Well I feed frozen Mysis and the pellets with Selcon. Doesnt seem too interested. My tang has never liked Nori, doesn't touch the stuff. But this guy doesn't either, it appears.
