What does everyone feed their golden puffer?

Tried hikari gold pellets and he doesnt like them. Trumpet snails....not crazy about them. Now i'm giving him fresh sea shells. He took a few bites from it but didn't seem to enthused by it. Maybe he's still settling in?

Most puffers can't resist a wiggly worm to get them started.

are pellets as a staple enough for them to keep that beak under control?

No & they really aren't the recommended diet for a puffer.
