I used San Francisco Bay Brand "Marine Cuisine" for my Lyretail. He ate on the first day.

Also, you might want to put in one of your small fish (like a blue chromis) with your anthias (I assume they are in QT). A lot of times, when anthias see other fish eating something, they go ahead and join them.

Check out this month's Reefkeeping Magazine's article "Anthiinae - the Fancy Basses" by Anthony Calfo. It offers some tips on feeding.
