Small yellow goby, eating concerns

[The Guy]

I have 2 little yellow gobies they each hang out on a zoey coral on each end of the tank it seems to me that they don't go for the foods given. I do a variety of foods including mysis, brine, ocean plankton, small new spectum pellets and some flake so it's little different each day. Is it possible foods are too big for them or what? Can anyone suggest other foods that the little guys would go for? How about baby brine shrimp?
Help with this would be appreciated. Cheers Laurie

What else do you have in the tank with the gobies ?
They are shy, oportunistic fish. Have you tried getting the food close to them ?
You can try using forceps or a turkey baster

Cyclopes?

Have you tried chopping up the Mysis ?
C'mon Laurie, you've raised Parrot-fish. You will get these guys to eat

Sorry to hear that .. you'll figure this out

Yup, I'd try Cyclop-eeze along with the turkey baster idea.

I had one of these waste away. Tried every food including two types of cyclopeeze with no luck. I think these guys like calm tanks until they get settled. Mine seemed nervous.
