Actually I had already read your post and my lion took live ghost shrimp off of the feeding stick the first time I tried. I am going to buy some silversides once the LFS gets some in. My lion doesn't come to me for food yet, but I've only fed him once. When he gets accustomed to me then I will try to feed him frozen. At the moment I think he only takes it from the stick because he sees it moving. What other frozen foods are good?
:See my method I posted in response to LOINFISH FOOD PROBLEM on 12/03. It sounds like you'll need to start with live food. If you absolutely can't find live saltwater food use guppies, they're a little better than goldfish. You want to wean them onto frozen silversides or squid ASAP, as feeding only guppies can lead to fatty liver disease, malnutrition and overall poor health. Also I've heard mixed results on frozen krill. Apparently they are boiled (hence the pink coloration) and therefor have little nutritional value. Apparently fish can also get addicted to krill and wont accept anything else. I've also heard that a diet of exclucively krill can lead to blindness. Best of luck, and be patient.
