Juvenile Yellowtail Coris

Question
Hi
I just have a very simple question. How can i feed a juvenile yellowtail coris? I've had one for the past 2 weeks in my 100 gallon tank. I've never seen it eat anything but brine shrimp. Not frozen foods, pellets, live blackworms or bloodworms. I've read that they like snails, shrimp, hermit crabs, etc. so i went to my lfs to buy 10 mexican turbo snails and some ghost shrimp with 5 small blue legged hermit crabs. It has not eaten any of those invertebrates so i'm kind of worried. Also I'm worried because the brine shrimp are not very nutritious and because currently I have not find any. Could you please tell me how can I encourage it to eat? Thanks in advance for the answer.
Aldo.

Answer
Hey Aldo,
First you can soak brine shrimp in selcon(vitamins) to givethem a bit more nutritional value. You are exacly right, brine shrimp are empty calories. Have you try mysis shrimp? Juvenilles have extremely small mouths, so you need to be feeding foods that are small enough or cut small enough to be bite sized. Try chopping up krill, silversides, table shrimp, clams, etc. Also you can try a marine pellet food(small pellets) to supplement as well. I have had juvenille Yellowtails and Lunare Wrasse and they jus need to be given small sized foods till they grow a bit larger. It can be a few months. Just give them a variety of small, bite sized foods, 4 or 5 times a day. You'll get them going!
