Try O.S.I. spirulina flake and Ocean nutrition frozen spirulina formula. Also soak you foods in Zoe a few times a week as zoe is heavy in spirulina.

I would supplement with food like formula 2, frozen version. Worked for my coral beauty.
Algae will get hold eventually.

I would also recommend Seaweed Selects. It is dry natural seawee (macroalgea). There is a variety of dried algea they sell. HTH

I feed my Cherub Angel (which I love to watch cruise in and out of the live rock) a frozen fish food by Ocean Nutrition. It is the Pygmy Angel Formula which contains several species of marine algae and spirulina. I would guess that this would be great for your fish as it is a dwarf angel like mine. Good Luck! By the way my angel Loves this food!
