Leopard Wrasse Doesn't Eat Live Blackworms?

[TH64]

Hey guys so I picked up a female leopard wrasse a full week ago and she is yet to eat any food I have tried which include live blackworms and various frozen foods. She doesn't even seem interested in the blackworms when I put them in the tank. Is there a particular way to feed the blackworms? I throw them in and they just sink to the bottom and the wrasse doesn't even notice it. It seems like they are suppose to go crazy for live blackworms from what I have read. She is picking at the frozen now but not really eating it... just picking at the rocks all day long on the hunt for pods. Maybe I'll try rods frozen or LRS frenzy if I can find it.

You try bloodworms yet i heard that works. Normally if they dont eat frozen after 2 weeks not a good sign ive had dozens of leopards and i usually get them eating after 3 days or so sometimes on day 1 but i usually sump them where theres many pods that they can survive on while i work on training to eat frozen

I was able to get my leopard wrasse to eat frozen blood worms and then he started to eat flake, pellets and nori

If its picking the live rock at minimum you should be ok, if its not then its probably not going to make it.

I've you tried frozen cyclops or roe? Reef Nutrition ROE is also a good choice.
