auriga butterfly

[debbieraptors]

Purchased a auriga butterfly approx 7 days ago. Placed in a 65 gallon established tank used as a QT tank. Problem is this fish is not eating....I tried the following mysis shrimp, live brine shrimp,
angel sponge formula, Sally frozen brine, nori on feeder clip, live
black worms, cut up shrimp, flake food and spectrum pellets.
It would not even try to eat or act interested in.
I have live rock, but no ataspia on it.
I am getting worried since it is going on 8 days with no food.
My water parameters are: pH 8.2 temp. 78 F SG. 1.025 Ammonia 0 nitrite 0, nitrates 0 low phospates and I use RODI water. Deep sand bed with red macro algae. Unfortunate no sponges or ataspia on the live rock for this fish to pick on.
There are no other fish in this tank with the butterfly.

Please help. I would hate to lose this fish.

Don't worry yet Deb. My Coral Beauty Angelfish did the same as your BFF for two weeks. I soaked some Frozen Mysis Shrimp in Kent Marine's X-treme Garlic to get my CB to eat. Now he eats flakes as well. How much was your BFF? Please keep us updated about your BFF.

Iwould try placing a half raw clam in your tank,
MY auriga loves this, and I am assuming it will get your fish eating, then you can go back to the brine shrimp etc.
