Longnose Hawkfish - any non-frozen foods to try?

Has anyone managed to get a Longnose Hawkfish to eat anything that is not a frozen food? I have tried a few types of flake food and spectrum pellets but he will only eat frozen food. Any suggestions of a food they will eat that isn't frozen?

Thanks,

Bob

Have you tried garlic soaked pellets? Thats what I feed my new fish. Apparently the garlic is tasty and has some debatable helpful health effects.

TheReefer84 - is it a longnose hawkfish or a different type of hawkfish?

FeatherDusters - I have tried this before, only frozen still. He's been with me 3 years so not new by any means
