When we used to get them at lfs where I worked, I head the best luck getting them to eat by giving them a mixture of mysis, Silversides, quality flake food and selcon all ground up and put just under the sand. It seemed to encourage a natural feeding response. They would glide over the spot a few times then stop at the spot and settle on the bottom and suck it right up.  
 
Give it a try!
