My flame angel was like that too, all he did was peck at the live rock for about 3 months. Then slowly started to eat pe mysis after about 3 months. Just started to eat nori after about 8 months.

I'm just concerned he's going to starve to death because him and the tang have almost removed all the algae from my tank.

I would just keep trying what you're already doing. maybe soak in a supplement like selcon once in a while? I would imagine that once the fish gets hungry enough and sees the other fish eating prepared foods, it will join in.
