I heard the same things and rushed out to get some copepods but he hasn't noticed them.

I got mine to eat by stuffing garlic soaked mysis into rock crevices, as per Kelly from thereefshoppe's suggestion. Then he started to just eat them when they were floating around in the water. He was already used to the taste from "hunting" them in the rocks I guess. I still think it was a complete miracle that I have a CBB that eats. I think they have a reputation for being difficult fish.
