I did seriously give it a try and I do feed pellet in every few days so if he ever changes his mind, it's there for him.
I have a Dendrophyllia coral that I feed mysis to and he is fully aware that if I feed that coral, he can steal the food from there. So sometimes I will feed the coral the NLS pellets as it eats just about anything and the CBB will try to steal the food, thinking that its mysis.
However he spits it out every time! He simply will not touch anything that's been dried.
I've resorted to putting in a mussel, clam or oyster every now and again so that he has something else to eat besides mysis. Starting to get used to the strange looks at the seafood counter when I ask for "one mussel please."
I tried frozen clams but he won't even touch those. He will, however, eat the formerly-live ones I buy from the supermarket.
If there's a trick to getting them to broaden their tastes I'd love to hear it. Unfortunately I'm not very good at deliberately starving fish in order to get them to try something new. In this case I don't hold out a lot of hope it would work anyhow, he has a very strong will.
