Question CrossHatch Trigger Food?

What do you guys feed your triggers? I just got a pair crosshatches and it is eating mysis, but they go thru the packs so fast. What other foods do you recommend? They are about 6-8 inches. Please help cash flow is depleting. haha just kidding. Thanks a lot for all the inputs.

They will take towards other food as they get more used to captivity. Just keep offering it.

My reef safe triggers will also eat a lot of nori. My male xhatch could eat an entire sheet of the big stuff.
