Baby Snapper Won't Eat?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum. I am writing because I have a Florida Snapper hatchling who is very un-interested in eating.

He is in a nice little enclosure-- waterfall, rocks to climb on, aquatic cover (foliage)-- and there are tiny rosy reds swimming all around.

I tried to feed him a rosy red, no dice. I left a small piece of fresh krill on a rock, nothing. I put two turtle pellets in the water near him, he's not biting.

He is basically brand new (I brought him home last night), but I figured he would have a baby's appetite. Should I be nervous? What suggestions do you have?

Thanks
Bob
