Flame Angel Vegies

I got a flame angel a few days ago and my LFS said that if i provided vegie strips for em he would be less likely to nip at my corals. Anyone know if this is true? Or what type of macro they like best? Ive tried Green and i also have red and purple but im not sure if he is just too shy to try or just doesnt like it.
 
dont really have trouble with my flame. But I have alot of button and zoo's ,etc. so would not notice if he did get one or two per week. When watching tank- he will pause and look like he is going to nip- but then doesn't. Maybe I keep mine fed enough of meaty food and reef blend = so he is not hungry enough.
 
i feed every two days but i just want to know what vegies if any this little guy likes. Its in my best interest to keep him feed.
 
I put every type algea in tank for my Flame. He never really eats it though. He seems to prefer mysis shrimp and formula 2.
 
yeah thats what mine does too. I was told they would happily eat them but i guess the LFS doesnt know what they are talking about. Might also be that my tangs keep him away.
 
Mines seem to favor the green macro, but I haven't tried the red or purple either. Mines also doesn't seem to be interested in any of my corals.
 
Mine loved my Goldback xenias so much I had to sell it..:( That was the only coral it loved. It would swim about nipping here and there but whenver it came by my Goldbacks, it would take 3-4 nips in a row.
 
I believe they are known to nibble on caulerpa - I just bought a tank I'm going to dedicate to macro growing - but no plants yet

I put some in my main tank & someone ate it all up - but I don't know who

"if i provided vegie strips for em he would be less likely to nip at my corals. Anyone know if this is true?" It seems possible, but I, at least, haven't run across anyone who said that his angel stopped eating corals after adding veggies - maybe someone else has though
 
excellent, i guess it will just take time. Mine doesnt get too close but i think that has alot to do with the fact he is still new and the tangs scare him a bit
