Should I move It to the QT

[BigH55]

My flame angel has still not taken food after 4 days should I move him to QT until he starts to feed?

If he is not sick I think that will stress him more and proly make things worst

What food have you been offering him? Try it with many different herbivore foods, containing at least some sponges. Maybe soak it in some garlic.

Do you have live rock in there with decent lighting. They can eat at live rock for at least a couple weeks before having to be fed. My yellow angel took almost a week to start eating. He will probably eat sooner than later but I wouldn't move him. It will make it worse. Also try live brine shrimp if you can your hands on some. Most fish really take to this.

Did you just add him?

Unless the fish is being bullied to the extent it prevents him from feeding, then let him be. Was he feednig in your q-tine tank when you first got him?
