Orbit Bat care-feeding

[Junkzoo]

Adopted a large Orbit Batfish from a member at our reef club meeting this last Sunday ( Word was it got moved to a larger tank/the tank had corals in it, and started munching on same, hence my adopting it)
I was told it eats every/anything, and want to find out what i can offer it.
It's in a 180 g FO with a few other,smaller fish, and any kind of food is no problem.

I've had Pinatus(sp) bats in the past, and well versed in most larger fish on care and feeding , was just wondering what i should offer this fish to get it used to being here in my tank.

It's acting like it's been in my tank since day one, but has not really tried anything i've offered it (frozen formula 1/2,mysis, pellets,chopped up silversides etc.)

Thanks in advance!

I would do mysis soaked in garlic for a while to stimulate feeding sir

Thanks!
Was gonna go the garlic and/or selcon route next to see if it'll get some interest. I expected a lil bit of "pouting" since it's in a new place, and have not noticed any interest in food since it brought it home on Sunday.

my little percula that's still pouting is only responding to dainichi pellets. Maybe you could try those. they have cyclopeeze

I raised a Tiera Bat in the 70's and it ate about anything. Went froma 29 toa 55 to a 300 tank in about 2 years. Fed it shrimp mostly sometimes ray oysters. It died and I had it stuffed and mounted. Must have weighed 5 pounds or more at the time and about 16 inches top to bottom.

I'm gonna PM the person i got it from (it was in her mom's tank) and ask if she knows what it used ta eat.
When she asked in our club forum it was eating corals in it's upsized tank when both got moved there i believe.
At the meeting Sunday she said it ate "everything" , i just want to narrow that down as to what it liked, so i can offer the same.

I doubt if i'll have problems getting it to eat, since it did not get this big from not eatin' LOL.


Pics pics pics, Vince is that all you think of?

I'll get pics don't worry(Ya know i gotta get the tank all spotless b4 i do tho)
