Emp Angel

[shel]

I bought a juv. Emp angel over the weekend, such a gorgeous fish. It seems to be doing well, swimming all over biting at the lr, checking out the crabs, it seems to be really impressed with the big hermit. Anyways I have not observed him to eat anything I put in the tank, I don't know if he is getting anything off the rocks or not. I know I should give him a few days to adjust to his new home. He moved in on saturday nite. Any suggestions are really appreciated.
Thx

As mentioned I would not worry about it yet. Try a variety of foods. Mine was picky at first, now he eats green seaweed selects, brine, mysis, angel formula, vhp fomula, and osi spirulina flake. Do not wait a week to feed him. Try small amounts of different foods over a few days to see what he picks at. What other fish are in with him?

Angel fish need to eat to. OUr fish store said we could put a little lettuce. Cause they eat greens off of coral. Also Green Spirulina flake food. And of course everything every one else above said.

Hey thanks for the info everyone. The tank is established, I have had it for 2 years with 4" LS, 200 lb LR. The fish with him is:
4-5" Dragon Wrass
2 Maroon clowns
7 green chomis
1 blue devil damsil
1 flame hawkfish
crabs and snails
2 brissitle star fish
1 huge decorator crab
He is the S*#@ of the tank already . All the other fish are scared of him. LOL
I have a variety of food I am trying.

I hate to say it, but I do not have a Q-tank. The store I bought him from did quartine him for 3 weeks before they called to tell me he was ready. I think it is a smart idea with the quartine, to find out what he likes to eat. I did buy what he was being fed while at the store. In my opinion this is the best lfs, I have had very good luck with them, all they sell is saltwater. They are very knowledgable.
I should probally invest in one again. I did have a 10g I used to treat a few sick fish. The quartine tank, does it need to be set up all the time? Or can I set it as needed?
As I said before, thank you for all the input. I will try diffrent things until I find what he really likes. I do have mysis, krill, and brime shimp, also I beleive I have some seaweed selects too at home. I will post later when I am at home what kind the lfs sold me, that he is already eating.
