So i recently bought a scorpion fish from a LFS. He is in a 29 gallon biocube with 30 lbs of live rock and some coral. I had him for 2 days so far and he has yet to eat. I tried giving thim mysis shrimp but he wont eat any. shoudl i be feeding him something else or am i doing something wrong? I tried target feeding using a turkey baster but that did not work either. If any of you have any suggestions i will be very thankful.

I would just give it time to settle..Main feeds are meaty chucks, crustaceans and such...remember, these are a fish that prefer to lye in wait for prey, and they get their food by sucking in the water, thus dragging prey / food in with it...

If being stubborn, try ghost shrimps first to ensure he doesnt starve and try more chunkier food such Fz krill, prawn, chopped up silversides, etc
