My anthias wont eat. I have had them for about 2 weeks and i havent seen them eat.I have tried mysis, live brine and prime reef. Whenever i feed they just go hide in the rocks like they are afraid of the feeding activity of the other fish which are 2 true clowns and a loubbox(sp?) wrasse. At times when food is in the tank they get excited and look like they are going to eat but just go back in the rocks. They swim around normally, however they are still a little skiddish. They look healthy, no signs of disease or sickness. Any suggestions on how to get them to eat.

My suggestion would be to have them in a QT tank to be certain they are eating what you feed and can do it without the other fish spooking them. But if you want to keep them where they are Archer's advice is a good one. Best of luck as far too many do poorly due to lack of nutrition.
better "?" would of been what kind of anthias are you talking about? some species are harder to keep than others. I have found that live food works the best, either brine or something like baby guppys/mollies. Also there are things on the market like entice, that give foods a lil more kick.
