Flame Angle

[JasonGraves]

I recently added a flame angel to my tank and I am having a hard time getting him to eat. Any suggestions? I have tried brine & spirulina as well as mysis and even nori. Any suggestions?

What was he eating at the LFS?

Try using raw black mussels - it usually works on any picky fish. I get black mussels from Jewel City Seafood in Huntington. The green mussels are also good, but they are usually precooked, which destroys vitamins, etc. Every flame angel I've owned ate well, so you may have an unhealthy fish. Refusing brine shrimp is a very bad sign.
