Coral Beauty Angelfish Nipping Coral
I understand they're prone to nip at coral. But they're one of my favourite fish. Wanted to see if I could make it work. How often should I feed him?

That is your problem. That tank is too small for an Angel fish. He is under stress and just reacting to his enviroment.

What type of coral is he nipping. Zoes ?
this. As previously noted in your earlier thread, a 14 gallon tank will not sustain the fish you are adding.

Whoever sold you that fish should have asked what size tank you have.
Find a good dealer that is concerned about more than making a buck.

that tank is way too small. IMO they need at least 35 gallon tank with lots of liverock. anyways keep it well fed because a hungry fish will look at anything as food. but try to get a bigger tank or give him to someone with a bigger tank.

A coral beauty will never work in that small of a tank. Period. Even in larger tanks they will eat corals if given the chance. I have kept them for a number of years and even when well fed with algae they are at best a 50/50 chance of not going after corals. Please, please find this fish a larger home. Maybe find a better LFS to deal with as well. There are a number of equally attractive fish to be found that will stay small and do much better in your tank long term.
