angels and butterflies are the hardest to get to eat but don't fret. Just give some more time and keep on trying from my experiences with angels, they will start eating soon and once they start eating, there's no stopping them.

Edit: didn't see the HLLE part...
hmmm treat the hlle well, rinse carbon from your tank thoroughly before introducing to your tank, make sure there isn't any stray voltage in your tank and be sure that your fish gets ALOT of nutritious food. Feed heavy.

I'm not sure where you guys are located, but the grocery store should have live clams, under the name littlenecks, cherrystone, quahogs, steamers, etc. Might have to go to a seafood market. Split the clam in half, and drop into the tank. If the angel doesn't pick at it, the honest answer is that there really isn't much hope for it.
Another food is scallops. The grocery store definitely should have a bag of frozen scallops. Chop a scallop or two into small enough pieces, I'm talking bite-size for him.

Try live brine shrimp See if you can find mega-marine angel fish food also try making a past out of whatever food you have and spreading it on a piece of porous rock and put the rock in the tank

Good for you....and it can be cured...I know this from experience....
if you can get some selcon. soak the food in a drop or 2 of that daily....also angels must have some algae in their diet, so look for mega marine algae (or mega marine angel) as Joe said
algae sheets are a plus also.....just a small piece until it gets use to it..then feed what it will eat within a few minutes....VERY important to make sure your water parameters are kept excellent, and gthe fish is kept as stress free as possible....
you can do this....BUT REMEMBER.....it is not something cured in a day....it took me quite a few months to cure my tangs
HEY.....Do you have a picture so we can see it?

Good evening captain obvious. The fish was given to her by our fish guy to see if we could nurse it back to health. 12 year old heart, and MINE. but thanks for the discount, will keep that in mind.
Kiefers (thats my kid) trigger.
P.s. the angel fish ate today. 7 bites.
