Please log in for more thread options I have a very strange acting clown fish. He is just a regular false
clown who I bought at the LFS a month ago. The first day he ate a few
bites of plankton. Since then he will not eat flake, dried bloodworms,
or any of the San Francisco Bay Brand frozen foods. This includes the
frozen brine shrimp that everyone recommends.
The only thing he eats are the tiny little bugs on the glass. Can he
continue to live only eating the tiny white bugs? These things are no
bigger than the head of a sewing needle.
I really don't know what else I can do.
It's a 90 gallon tank with 120 pounds of live rock, and a few green
star polyps.
He shares the tank with some snails, scarlet reef crabs and one 6 line
wrasse who he swims with from time to time.

Try hatching live brine shrimp to see if he likes that. My clown loves
them but he eats just about anything I put in the tank - same for my
watermelon wrasse and yellow tang.

Please log in for more thread options You can try using Cyclop-eeze, which comes in freeze-dried or frozen forms.
It;s also a plankton, but is usually used to feed corals, although it will
do wonders for your fish - growth rates, colouration, disease resistance,
reproduction rates, etc., etc, Highest content of astaxanthin in any animal.
