Feeding Angelfish

[200mfromocean]

I recently introduced a 3-4" Japanese female swallowtale to my 120G reef 2 days ago and am having trouble getting the darn thing to feed. When it is feeding time the fish hugs the rocks and I had to get the target feeder out and bout squirt the stuff on top of her A$$ to get her to take a nibble.
My reef is semi mature with a mix of old LR and new LR and I have a few copepods kickin in the fuge. I feed nori and PE mysis 5-6 times a week. Thanks!

What is your question? Did you not QT the fish? Sometime it's easier to get them eating when they're in a smaller space, aka a QT tank, than if they're in a big tank.

The idea was to aclimate them in my prop tank but they built it the wrong size and I cannot wait for the new one to come in.

Is there any type of food I could put in to entice it to start eating more?

PE mysis has always been one my go to foods to get picky fish going but I've also had very good luck with new life spectrum pellets. I would try a variety of foods, I had a genicanthus that learned to feed from a grid feeding clip, you could try any number of gel foods as well and see if he starts picking.
