Any tricks to get a Manderin to eat anything?

You could try several things like setting up a diner (small jar that they can fit through and eat without competition) but really it just takes time. I had a female that ate frozen but my male only ate copepods. I have tons of them so I didn't really worry but then one day I saw the male eating a large piece of frozen mysis. Both are fat and happy, for now, I would try to source some copepods to seed your tank and run a fuge with chaeto to help grow the population until the female learns to eat frozen.

im training my scooter blenny as we speak. i heard live brine in a baster with frozen foods, slowly switching to only frozen. i cant seem to find brine eggs around here so i just use munnids and small anphipods. has been about a week now and i see her picking the odd frozen brine/pellet. idk how much shes actually eating yet tho? good luck!

Also try adding some garlic drops that you can get at the pet store on whatever you are feeing. I had a cardinal that didn't eat anything for two weeks due to my tank cycling and it did the trick to start him eating again. Garlic will stimulate the fishes appetite. Hope that it helps.
