I hardly ever saw my orchid dottyback eat for quite some time when I got him. However, I kept feeding the tank hoping he'd eat, and he's still around. A year or so later, he's a lot more comfortable with his surroundings that he comes out all the time and you can see him eating.
Might just be a dottyback thing ... maybe they don't need a whole heck of a lot to sustain themselves.
Cyclops-eeze you should be able to get at any LFS - I like the frozen stuff better than the freeze-dried (the freeze dried floats terribly - you need to soak it for a long time to rehydrate to the point where it doesn't stick to the surface). But the only problem with the frozen is you have to buy this enormous brick of it that will last you forever and ever (likely spoiling due to freezer burn before you use it up). Nevertheless it's good stuff to have on hand. I find fish look more colourful when they have this regularly too, there's something to it.
Anyhow good luck!
