Ocean Nutrition Seaweed Selects

[carlos413]

I have a Coral Beauty Angelfish, I got some Ocean Nutrition Seaweed Selects red marine algae. The dried seaweed kind. I tried to place it in difrent placese in the tank and he wont eat them. I am trying to make sure he gets a good diet any sugetions? I do feed him veggie flakes among forzen food mysis shrimp, brine with sirulina, baby raw krill and the Ocean Nutrition Veggie cubes "not sure what the real name is". I d like to get him to eat this seaweed, he picks at my live rock all day so i know hes getting some greens in his diet.

Dwarf angels natural diet is filamentous microalgae, so not totally surprising that most don't immediate adapt to eating dried seaweed. Continue to offer it, but remove if uneaten after a few hours. Might try rubberbanding the seaweed to a piece of live rock instead of attaching it to the glass. Worked for my Potters angels.
I would also feed some of the previously suggested foods. Variety in diet is key.

I agree. My 2 tangs go crazy when I put the green algae enriched with garlic. They will eat a 3x3 piece in a couple hours.
