Try frozen. Brine shrimp, mysis, Theres also a frozen food called reef plankton by san francisco bay brand. My anthias love it.

Cyclopeeze and sweetwater plankton (daphnia) can sometimes work. FWIW, purple queens have horrible track records in captivity, so good luck. I don't think you will ever get it to eat pellets or flake.
