Okay thanks for the advice. I went off some advice from my LPS which has never given me any bad advice. Apparently they didn't do there homework either.

Try some frozen Cyclop-eeze. safari is the only place that I know that sells it locally.. Or better yet, stop by and I will give you a little piece to try. I have some tiny little pellets that mine likes, you can try this too. I also have cleaner wrasse in my frag tank that loves algae sheets..

Hey Shelley! I may take you up on that! He seems to be eating beef heart and ground mysis shrimp, but not very much at a time. So im thinking I may need to get something else going so he doesn't starve or anything.

Reefers rarely have any sucess with cleaner wrasse. You can try a variety of tiny foods but you will be very lucky if it survives.

As posted they are better off let in the ocean to do the good cleaning job they do. IMO they should not be brought in by LFS.

Some loser LFS bring then in to entice newbies to get into the hobby as they are interesting to watch cleaning fish.
