if you guys want to try again, I got mine from Carson tropical.
now I'm scared for mine.. finishing up week 2.. did yours eat for a few days and stopped too? or is it a sudden death? mine eats but he's fairly slow. nothing like the other anthias.. I'm going to up the feeding a little just to make sure he gets some more.

Mix cylops with frozen mysis. Basically foods it will eat with foods you want it to eat... theyll learn to take anything some fish just take longer to eat other items than others. Reef Nutrition ROE is also good for finicky fish that will take smaller foods. Im using that with cyclops and mysis to feed Bartletts I have now. Theyre slowly starting to pick at the mysis but are eating the cyclops and roe.
My Sunburst eats everything.

My sunburst that I got from rap is passing away. I have not seen him eat anything since I got him and really weak right now. Also I noticed he has tail damage and I don't see any aggression on the tank mates? I have a pretty peaceful community. I wonder who is bullying him. He is in the sump right now... Crossing fingers for recovery....

That sucks dude. I had mine in quarantine and it was eating a bit, not much, but some. It was fine for about five days and then all of a sudden started to decline. Maybe they weren't healthy fish to begin with. I definitely knew there was a risk in buying fish from RAP. I'm just glad I didn't put him in my display directly.
They don't seem to be that rare to get. I would just try with another one from an LFS that's been eating and established. I'll definitely try again if I can find one that is eating. I agree, I really like my leopard too. And I learned the hard way not to quarantine them. I lost two in a week. But I know better now.
Ya I've had one for a few years and he's very shy and lives in the back corner of the tank...sometimes in a cave. BUT... he's healthy and eats. To Cody's reply, I agree with Mysis and Cyclopis. I make my own food and always blend in lot's of Cyclopis and Mysis. Maybe this IS the key? All I know is that's all I feed my fish and I never have ich or lose fish (I know, never say never)...ya ya ya)
BTW... believe it or not I got mine from Tong's. They seem to get a bad rap but I've purchased a lot of fish there throughout the years and I've never had a problem.
