![]() I have 3 angles in each of my tanks and have never had a problem feeding them. They have not pick on any of my corals or clams. They have a tendency to pick at a new coral when it is first introduced to the tank but within a day or so they move on to other things. I believe they are just very inquisitive and want to know what the new thing is. They will nip at the odd zoo though. I feed them every day. I mostly feed them pellets (Ocean Nutrition) with brine shrimp and mysis once or twice a week. I like Ocean Nutrition pellets as they are a complete diet and are quick and easy to feed. The larger angels like the large pellets, I feed them one or two pellets at a time a total of 6 or 8 per feeding. They come right to the surface and virtually take the pellets from my hand. I feed the smaller pellets to the smaller angels and they have to be quick as the anthias will pick up the majority of the pellets before they reach the bottom of the tank. The cherubs and flame angels are quick enough to get ensure their fair share.

![]() Thanks for the info. I haven't picked up any pellets yet but I will try to two types that have been offered as suggestions. Hopefully the rest of the gang will like them as well.

![]() When you start feeding pellets take it very slow. It takes a while for the fish accept the pellets in their mouth. I only feed 6 to 8 large pellets to my large angel once a day. I feed a small pinch of small pellets to the others dropping 10 or 12 at a time, twice a day as the antheas require more frequent feeds.

![]() Good to hear. I'm glad things have worked out for you & your Emperor angel. Mysis & NLS pellets is what I mainly feed my marine fish & if it was for fish like my seahorses, I would probably go with straight pellets for a while, to see how they thrive on it. Much easier & less mess, but I've always fed my fish a variety of foods, rather than just one.
