My CB did the same thing when I first got it. I wouldn't worry. So long as it looks healthy and is nipping the rocks I'm sure it will come around. It'll get hungry eventually.

Be patient...dont over feed the tank. Have you tried soaking any of the foods in garlic? or selcon??
That should do the trick. Coral beauties arent particularly hard fish to keep.
