Well looks like he is settled in and happy. He is eating, But not like a champ on the frozen yet. I kept a couple brain corals with him and he is mowing them over. He has not touched any zoa's or rics and has no taste for them at the moment. He does love the meaty LPS though with a passion.
Got a small addition coming in next week. Got that little meridithi from DD.
Funny thing is i see the scribbled eating asterina stars. Bonus i guess since i cannot controll the populations of them. Well hopefully he eats them all up.

 
Love scribbleds! Someday I'll get one when I set up a large SPS angel reef. Hows the sohal with everyone? Mine was a terror and had to give him away even against passer and queen angels!
 
Thanks, He is a model citizen. I never see him picking on anything. I have had him over a year.
 
Thanks all! I am glad every one suggested the scribbled. He has quickly grown on me as my fav fish. I have had triggers and other angels, But not with one that had this much personality. He is def smart and persistant. He found ways to get around a basket i made for corals that was sold and awaiting pick up. I had to modify that a couple times now. LOL He wants to eat a nice puffy wellso thats in there.
 
i all so had nice sohal tang
in the guys tank that i sold the tang to the only fish he can not stand is a magnificent foxface
 
Well still doing good, Just not eating like i would like. He is eating zoa's now. :)
He picks at mysis after it hits the ground and sitting there. He munches on fresh clams n a half shell, But i am pretty sure he is spitting them out. He is getting pretty bossy. LOL
That was expected. Nothing aggressive, just the i am king angel attitude.
He is doing alot better than he was in QT.

Gotten my false personifer today, Came in fat and healthy. It is pretty shy, and still confused from shipping.

Looking Good Creetin!

We have the same taste. Scribbled and Achilles.

My scribbled is a little on the aggressive side though. How big is your scribbled?
 
Thanks much!! He is def the centerpiece i was looking for. Good thing i have some left over LPS he can eat till he settle's for prepaired foods fully. This is the only time i wish i had a little algae in the tank. But that will be short lived. ;)
 
Good news. I could not get the scribbled eating aggressively at anything. He would pick on some lps i left in there and was killing snals to eat them. I tried the LFS clams on a half shell and he would pick and leave them alone. He has gotten thin in the belly, That pinched in look. He is healthy otherwise.
Today i went to the market and picked up some littleneck clams. I cut one open and dropped it in. He went right for it and took the biggest piece off the shell and pretty much swallowed it whole! All my angels are going nutty for it. I wish i tried this earlier!!!
The frozen LFS stuff sucks.
Can i keep them alive till needed in the sump?
 
Be careful feeding them live. They can introduce unwanted pathogens into the DT. I always freeze littlenecks before feeding to kill off some of the pathogens.

Thanks for the tips!! I did rinse them in tap before dropping them in.
I dont think he likes them from the freezer, I tried frozen chopped up clams and he didnt like them either. I am at my wits end trying to get him to eat prepaired foods. This was a last ditch effort.
I have been looking for sponge locally for him to eat but cannot find any other than spider sponge which is a little too expensive to have him eat and I would need to QT that too for 6 weeks to prevent pathogens. I do want more sponge in the diets of my angels, and frozen angel formula has very little in it. Since live sponge has so many benefits to the angel fish's health I feel it is nec to get more in the the tank for them to graze on.
I heard there was a study on sponges and they have a natural antibiotic, and antiparistic compound in them among many others. Maybe why angels clean so many fish in the wild and they keep themselves healthy by eating sponge. Dunno just thinking it makes sense.
 
Still have not weened him off the clams since thats the only thing he wants to eat. He ignores everything else. Stubborn SOB. LOL
He is getting nice and plump though, He destroys clams. LOL
