My coral bueaty took about a week to start eating flake food. She would just eat stuff off the rocks. I wouldn't worry yet, just give it time.

I just picked one up Friday, he ate within an hour of putting him in the tank (F2 flake). As soon as I put him in my Cleaner jumped on his back for a little ride. Mine is gold in the middle and purple around the edges, do they stay this color or do they change? In all the pics. I've seen they are always all purple.

Ocean Nutrition makes a few products specifically designed for angels...frozen and flake forms available. Angels need more sponge than most fish. I would chalk it up to being new in the tank. Don't get too worried yet.

I use ON's Prime Reef and F2 flake and F1 pellet (which falls to the bottom too quickly), as well as a bunch of different frozen foods. They all get eaten and I just feed something different each day.
