i would also suggest formula 2 for angels soaked in selcon.

the reason its for angels is cuz its algae and also it has sponges in it

Food
 
Coral Beauties with orange bellies have eaten coral before(there is a pigment/chemical that causes some cells in the fish to change color). He probably doesn't like any coral in your tank.

To get him eating, try using liquid additives such as Selcon or garlic additives(there are many out there). Also, try overfeeding your tank, so there is alot of food floating around; it might just spark his interest.

Good luck!!

He's actually been eating for a while, teaming up with my blue tang to devour the ON flakes that I put in there.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

You learn something new every day. I didn't know that, pretty cool.
