what do you guys feed your anglefish? i have given him all sorts of foods but he doesn't seem to have a favorite. i've tried nori seaweed on a clip, emerald entre, mysid shrimp, omega 3 brine shrimp, and formula foods angle formula, i also have some squid but haven't tried that yet.

BOALGF - Beautiful fish! I have always heard you can only have one type of dwarf angle, but you pic shows three.....any problems? We have a coral beauty and would love to get another angel. Thanks!

I would never give advice telling someone to try it, since I don't know your tank or experience. I was very precise when picking the angels I wanted. I also have an incredible amount of liverock. From what I heard, it normally doesn't work out to add 2 to one tank.
I picked the coral beauty because it is passive and put it in first. Then after a few months I added the flame to see how it would work out. They got along as much as I expected. The flame chased the coral every now and then but never more than just to scare it away from a certain spot in the tank. Then I added the lemon, which I consider more aggressive than the flame. The flame tried to bully it, but the lemon put him in his place. The lemon actually became a kind of mediator and the flames aggression went away. Honestly I think I just got lucky. They all swim happily together now.
