CBB are really difficult to get eating. Odds are if they are not eating at the LSF they will not eat ever.

Sumps aren't really great places for fish. I'd try Arcti-Pods by Reef Nutrition, mixed with mysis and bryne. My CBB was eating at the LFS but my other fist tought it to eat just about anything. Including flake
