PH is aliitle low. is pellets the only thing that you offer them.
they are omnivours and the coloration decrease could come from an imbalanced diet. i would try foods like prime reef or other balanced flake foods along with some frozen mysis shrimp.

Good advice from Mike. I would add to it that you might consider soaking his suggestions in Zoe, Zoecon or both. I keep a lot of Angels and since using these products I have seen a clear change in their overall color.
Good luck man

Ween him to frozen formula foods. There are several formulas designed for omnivores that have greens in them. They are very nutritious.
