I received a trio of Lyretail Anthias from divers den 2 days ago. They are by themselves in quarantine (observation only / no meds). Two eat just fine. The third grabs food but spits it back out. I’m feeding a mix of frozen brine and mysis. I also tried some LRS food. Any thoughts on what else to try to get the third to eat? They are all swimming around and look good.
 
try thawing it and dicing it up. Im wondering if the food is to big for it to swallow? I would think the lrs should cover it though. Needs to eat soon though! could try live food if you have a LFS near you that sells it?
 
Everything mentioned above is good advice, but I'd also try to find some live black worms. Even the pickiest fish I've ever had slurped them up like spaghetti noodles.
