WELCOME TO MEEEEE!
Truth be told, I've been lurking here for quite a while.
This has been a really helpful resource.

This is yet ANOTHER picky goby thread.

I got him three days ago (may be part of the issue) and he spends most of his time guarding his cave, only vacating to chase away tankmates.

I feed the tank with frozen mysis shrimp.

For him, he only takes Instant Ocean marine pellets that are dropped right in front of his face.
Quite funny, he chases away everyone else, but doesn't seem phased at all if I place my hand in front of him to drop the pellets.

I just tried feeding him mysis out of a Julian's thing, no dice.
He just let them float away.

Any suggestions?

Relevant info:
Biocube 29
PJ cardinals (2)
Mollys (2)
Tiger pistol shrimp (has not paired up with goby yet)
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
