Mysis shrimp is a favourite food of these fish, IME. Mine also pigs out on New Life Spectrum pellets.

Your fish sounds similar to one I have. I got mine eating by using an elastic band and tie a small piece of dried seaweed to some rock rubble to get mine to eat. Just leave it in a consistent spot where you know it visits during its usual swim. Goodluck.

Just use a variety when feeding, flake, frozen, pellets, cyclopeze, mysis etc and it will start to eat - mine eats like a pig when I do feed, but it picks off the rocks too.
