I have just added a beautiful blue throat trigger but he is not eating. My water is fine but he has not eaten in the week I've had him. I am feeding him krill and mysis well soaked in garlic but nothing. Anyone any ideas please

maybe hes eating small bits ?

a new fish , unless very dominante, will often not eat.

its simply trying to find its place,  ie its more concerned with defending itself rather than eating.

try something a bit bigger,  a small peice of mussel or prawn

The LFS said he was eating. I'm sure that he must be eating. He is tanking up and down the back of the live rock and I do see him picking so I'm not too worried yet.
