hes only eating mysis shrimp and cocktail shrimp right now, know of any other foods that he might like, he doesnt want krill.
 
I was gonna get one at my LFS but they warned it might attack my fish/inverts. They said they sometimes feed there eels small feeder fish, squid, and anything else live if they don't eat frozen

I have had my snowflake for about 4 months now and he loves the frozen brine shrimp he eats right out of my hand.

Does he try to eat/kill anything else if you have crab/snails/fish?
 
on one occasion he caught my wonderful clown , so i grabbed him and the clown went free ., that little bastid, but im sure he ate a damsel or 2 , but the important fish are safe in thier anemones. He also ate a cleaner 3 cleaner shrimp. but i feed him and the rest of the fish and invertebres abot every 3 days with frozen brine shrimp.

mine killed all the crabs that came with my live rock and i sold my cleaners before he got them, my hermits are alive still and so where my snails untill the trigger went in the tank, from what iv read they are arnt piscovores and there main diet in the wild are crustations and that all crustations will become food.

you might want too add some thing else too the diet then just brine shrimp and its advised againt feeding them from your hands as there near sighted and might bite your hand and there bite is hard and infect easily.
 
i gave my snow flake some octopus today and he stuck his head out of the water about 2 inches too get more, id say that the octopus is his favorite food.

If you start feeding him stuff with a little more substance, he will quit
eating his tankmates...or cut down on it considerably. If that is all you
are feeding him, he will slowly starve to death.
