    I am feeding my royal gramma regular marine flakes with infused garlic in addition to the occasional frozen brine....My clownfish seem to be all over the brine, but the RG does not show much interest. The RG is getting a lot of food, but how can I MAKE SURE my RG gets the brine??Do they usually eat brine?
    Also he really does notseem to be out much. I understand they can be shy, and he is out some times, but could there be something wrong? I know there is not aggreesion beause the 2 clowns are very peaceful, and they stay on a completely different side of the tank. How can I make the RG feel more comfortable?Does it take more time for him to acclimate?
    (I have had him for 2-3 weeks)
    Thanks!

    Why do you want him to eat the brine? Brine shrimp is like popcorn for fish, no real nutritional value.

    Give the RG time it will become more adventurous. Also I agree with m2434 on the brine. Get something with krill and other marine invertebrates to feed the fish.
