Flame Angel not eating

[jocomaster]

My Flame Angel arrived yesterday from SWF.com, unfortunately it is not eating, tried seaweed, brine shrimp, mysis, pellet aswell as flakes, the other tankmates seem to be eating all the food!
Should I just wait and see for few more days?
Tankmates
2 False Percs
1 Bangai Cardinal
1 Yellow Wrasse
and Corals
Water parameters are good

Is it picking or grazing the live rock at all? You could try soaking the food in garlic if you don't already.

I have a flame from a LFS that started eating the day I put her in. Mine eats pellets, flakes and shrimp. I'd say, yours is still adjusting to its new home. If water is good and other fish are eating, it's more than likely the flame will eventually start to feed also. Believe me, they can eat! G'luck!
