Default Questions about Humuhum

I just bought a new humu and I just wanted some advise about how to feed him. He gets really aggressive when food is in the tank even if he isn't eating the food. He is really small right now and he seems happy, I know to feed him 3 times a day he eats bloodworms and krill right now. Is there better food for him?
Also I am very new and I wanted to know how I find my posts? Is there a botton were I can find my posts or do I just have to search for them. Thanks for the help!

"Will eat a wide variety of invertebrates and may pick at clams. Will also eat smaller reef fishes. The Humu Humu Triggerfish will often become more aggressive as it matures. Like the family dog this fish is not shy about begging for food, and will even learn to eat out of your hand. "

"Feed a meaty diet including, chopped squid, shrimp, krill, fish, and frozen herbivore preparations."

That's outta one of my fish books. I have a dog face puffer and they have the same diet. I feed mine lance fish or silver sides twice/ day. Ocassionally I'll give him raw shrimp from the supermarket whenever i eat it. He doesn't pick at any of my inverts and I hand feed him everytime. pretty neat, just watch your fingertips cause it hurts.

Thank you right now I have him eating squid and sliver sides. He eats everything except the trigger food that I bought him. He chases my shrimp but hasn't eaten any of them yet but thats ok I bought them for him. He will eat from and hand and it doesn't hurt yet but he is just a baby. I also feed him live brine shrimp as a treat and he likes to chase them. He is so beautiful!! I will have to try the shrimp because I'm sure he would love it. I also give him little snails that he loves. I have a puffer in with him (toby) and they get along great I know I will have to move one of them someday but for now he seems to like the puffer. Right now I am fighting ich in the tank and I don't know where it came from because no one had it when they came in.
