I've just recently started soaking pellets in frozen food ... any tips would be appreciated

Really, please help me get these anthias' eating anything other than frozen
I always got mine eating pellets by starting on frozen cyclopeeze(sp?) and when offering that id offer pellets for the other fish. I was using Omega One micro marine pellets. (At the time my clowns mouths were too small for the 1mm pellets so i kept the micro on hand and fed that daily.) Both the cyclop and pellets would blow around the tank and the fish would just start grbbing whatever went past, after a few days they stopped spitting out the pellets.
Never bothered offering frozen to the group of red fairy anthias i recently purchased. They went right onto 1mm pellets. Pigs....
The lyretail group i had learned to eat pellets really quick. Less then a week i want to say...

Tanks looking good Greg! Well corals... need fts! And some wavey coral like euphyllia
