I feed my tank a mix of Brine, Mysis, and Squid with some vitamins and garlic in the mix. He nibbled at it yesterday so hope he will do ok. I have a order in for some live saltwater feeder shrimp in at OIB so when they come we will see if he likes those to since he eats small shrimp i the wild.

Very cool to watch. The other fish in the tank didn't know what to make of the moving lights though. :)
