Anyone have any suggestions to get a leopard wrasse to eat frozen?  Not much luck thus far.

What other fish are in the tank?   Leopard wrasses are a bit on the shy side.

What type of frozen food are you using.

In qt 15 gallon (small I know). Sand bed. Melonarus wrasse eating anything is the tank mate.  Been out swimming a lot which is good. Sand bed at night. Tried frozen brine, cyclops, mysis, blood worms. No luck yet.

Hatching some brine shrimp...  Hoping if he takes it I can mix in frozen brine.

They can be quite finicky.   The other wrasse might not be the best QT mate.  I like to use clowns for my qt system community.

enriched brine is normally a good choice.
