My new flame angel does not appear to be eating. Had him in the DT for three days now. He appears fat and happy swimming thru the caves, pecking on the live rock. 125g tank w/ 150+ lbs of lr. He was eating frozen foods (mysis, brine mostly) at the lfs and while in the penalty box.
Could he be getting nourishment from grazing and the food that drifts into the caves, or do I need a different approach? He seems somewhat intimidated by my two yellow tangs.
Currently feeding tank:
algea strips
flake
garlic soaked frozen krill
garlic soaked frozen blends
Thanks and Merry Christmas

Welcome aboard. I do not have a flame, but do have a coral beauty that was eating very well in my quarantine tank. When I placed him into the display tank I couldn't find him for about a day. He was very intimidated by my rabbitfish....fast swimmer, very large. The rabbitfish has never tried to harm it, but none the less very intimidating. It has been 7 days and he is now swimming out in the open, and coping with the other fish. I too haven't seen it eat until today. Keep feeding the tank as normal. As long as he seems interested in the rocks and in my case the back glass, which he has cleaned very well, he should come around. Be careful not to over feed the tank as to pollute the water. Since he has a full looking tummy, you should do well. Here is my guy, this was just taken today.
