He may be scared to eat. Mine started eating while I had him QT with no other fish with him.

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

I killed one of those. I never could get it to eat, in spite of trying everything I could think of.

If you check out the fish longivity records, this fish does pretty poorly.

Mine starved itself to death too. It took about a month. I tried everything I could think of but nothing was food to him. It was a very sad experiance. I feel for you chevy

If you want you could bring him over and try him in my tank for a few days. I've got a lot of pest anenomes that they sometimes will eat, might be worth a shot.
