I had one and could never get it to eat and tried to feed everything!!!!! I lived for about 2 weeks...........I would never get one again as I don't know anybody that can get them to eat in the aquarium. I would leave them in the ocean and enjoy them there if you can.

When we used to get them at lfs where I worked, I head the best luck getting them to eat by giving them a mixture of mysis, Silversides, quality flake food and selcon all ground up and put just under the sand. It seemed to encourage a natural feeding response. They would glide over the spot a few times then stop at the spot and settle on the bottom and suck it right up.

Give it a try!
