My two sunburst anthias are not eating any pellets since I bought them two weeks ago. I am worried that they may not survive. They are swimming peacefully in the tank and not disturbed by any other tank mates.

Any idea how to feed them?

They need frozen food. Feed only food suspended in the water column. Multiple feedings per day. Difficult fish to keep. Good luck.

I see. I will try to feed them some frozen food today. I wonder how they last for 2 weeks with no food.

My own experience is anthias last about 3 weeks before dying :( if they don't eat after you get them from the LFS.

I usually start by feeding them frozen food soaked in garlic. Once they start eating that, I'll crush pellets and mix it into the frozen + garlic solution. Usually after a few days of doing this, they will start eating anything you throw into the tank.

Hope this helps
