I bought two blue star leopards, neither eat. They're in my 16g quarantine. With my potter's wrasse, I put him in the display and he ate within 2 weeks. I hate to do that again due to the risk of disease, so for the time being, I'm set on the quarantine tank. I have a rubbermaid tub full of sand for them to sleep in (they don't use it) and PVC. I know it's not the most comfortable environment, but like I said, I don't want to take a gamble and kill my display.
I've fed it mysis and it spit it back out, I fed it Fish Frenzy and nothing, I fed it brine and that seems to be the thing he "chews on" the most repeatedly, but then he spits it out. I also tried a mix of ROE and oyster feast, but no go. Seems like the brine was the one he entertained the most.
I've been also told to try live black worms. Just not sure where to get them, but it's on my list.
If you guys have any strategies or tricks to get your finicky fish to eat I'd love to hear them!
