NLS pellets don't sink quite as fast as Ocean Nutrition ones. In fact, I find them a little too slow since they all get gobbled up before the gobies etc can a chance at them! So I throw both kinds in at once.

They should come to like them in time. I feed ON Form 1+2 pelets to my fish. My clowns and Grama go nuts now. at first, they never even touched it, for like a month. It was Mysis or nothing. I slowly weaned them off straight Mysis. Now they eat darn near anyting. Even my Yellow tang loves them. he'll pick them off the tank floor.

One thing I find that slows down the sinkage is turning off the pumps during feeding.
