Cardinals are definitely meat-eaters based on my own observation. It never touch my dried seaweed when I am feeding the rest of my fishes.

I usually feed them with dried brine shrimps. Try soaking them with garlic guard to enhance the smell of food, and pray that it feeds.

Yup, they don't touch pellets or flakes, only meaty foods, try chopped prawns.

Actually most Cardinals are nocturnal minute invertebrate eaters - that's why they have such a large pair of eyes.

As such, they will generally take small pieces of mysis, zooplankton, cyclopeeze, bbs or even shreded shrimp. But try to feed tham after light-off when they are more active.

I feed all my fishes and corals once before first light and once after last light! Soounds familiar?????
