They rip anything I put in there.

By turning yellow, are you referring to a juvi changing to adult? That is an awesome stage. I truly enjoyed seeing one from juvi to full adult. Cool if you can pull it off.
Food rots away? Your fish must have an eating problem or something with the food or feeding too much.
I have 8 angels (6 large) and assure you no food goes to waste.
Boring? They are so cool. You don't see tangs swimming sideways trying to squeeze through tight openings. A couple of mine love to be scratched. They are clowns flipping themselves around in through the rocks. They have personality.
As far as vitamins, I have had many of these fish for close to 10 yrs (one of them that long - the Emperor). Don't give vitamins. Just feed Spectrum which they take to within seconds of first feeding. Many in this hobby confuse a varied diet, vitamins etc as cause of health issues. More important to me is good water quality. Give them a good quality food and keep their water quality max and they do just fine. Mine eat Spectrum, with occasional shrimp when I feed the eel. I have to do that so they can leave the eel alone. Other than that, they have no clue what other foods are.
Ditto!! My angels are waiting at the top of the tank following my hand to inahilate whatever I put in the tank.
They are the fastest eaters (minus the trigger). They are pigs and will devour an entire cube of mysis in seconds.
As for the water quality...I also fully agree. Without this angels will not survive long.
As for fun to watch? My favorite fish is the Emperor cause he cruises around the tank like a jumbo jet. So graceful. I have built 10-15 caves within my rocks that they all like to swin through. I change them around every so often and he is like a little kid waiting till I finish so he can swim through the new crevis. Both the angels (and I am noticing it from the Queen in the QT too) love to lay on their sides under the rocks and pick at them as well as turn upside down and vertical to get to various niches in the rock.
This is why I will eventually have an angel only tank!
