I'm glad that usually works. Now to wing her off them and get her to eat frozen is a challenge cuz it's a step by step process, I would wait a week of her eating live ghost shrimp. Then the following week I would cut the tail off half the shrimp that you feed her to injure them and she should start to eat those to for 1 week. Then I would cut all the shrimp tails for 1 week. Then I would kill half of the shrimp so 1/2 injured and 1/2 dead for 1 week. Then if she is eating the dead ones I would add 1/2 dead with 1/2 frozen mysis shrimp and when you see that she is eating the frozen mysis I would only feed frozen mysis. This is the best method that has worked for me and many others that I know with wild caught seahorses. You need to do this on a week to week basis to give her a week to get used to seeing and tasting something different. Good luck and let us know how she does.
