The twitching could be a couple things. If he is rubbing on something when he does it you have about a 90% chance that some kind of parasite is the problem. Sorry. Is he in a QT or in your reef?
If not it could still be a parasite but it could also just be a Flame angel being wierd. They are tough fish but don't take to moving around very well, if you keep him a month you'll have hime for years.
Either way keep a really close eye on this one. Because of the other angel in the store having ick I'd really suspect that is what is going on here. You might not have been able to see anything on him but you can be pretty sure that he and the sick one came from the same place and probably at the same time. Having said that, think really hard before taking any drastic measures he may recover just fine. If you didn't QT him make sure to watch your other livestock as well.
