Could someone please tell me what to feed my new Coral Beauty?

[fishisfun7]

I got him a few days ago and he seems perfectly happy to peck away all day on the things in my tank that have brown algae (live rock, power heads, back wall glass), but does not seem interested in brine shrimp or the different types of flake food that I have offered (my Tang, 2 percs, blenny and goby all eat ANYTHING I offer).
Is there a special flake food or frozen food that he will eat? Will he get enough just pecking away at the algae? Please help!!! Thanks!!!

I feed mine a rotation of -
emerald entree, frozen plankton, frozen and flake formula 2, frozen and pellet formula 1, mega marine algae, frozen cyclop-ezee.
It eats it all.

mine eats everything i put in, mega marine angel, mega marine reef (?), flake, pellet. maybe just give it time to feel comfortable they are very shy creatures.

I have a new Coral Beauty as well and it seems content grazing on my live rock and anything that has algae on it. Of all the foods that I offer, it seems to actually eat the Formula2 flake food. I've noticed that the longer it is in the tank, the more comfortable it is with eating.
Good luck.

My coral beauty just grazed for the first week in our tank. I bought pellets, flakes, brine shrimp and finally mysis shrimp. The second week he started eating the mysis shrimp. This is his 4th week in our tank and he will eat whatever is served. The mysis shrimp are his favorite, he has even pulled them from the mouth of a much larger tang!
