In my experience I've found that they tend to start out more cautious and so tend not to eat everything.

Once they have realized that something can be eaten and it tastes pretty good they won't stop.

If your angel is already sampling stuff right out of the gates, well, then you're probably already hooped. I've never known an angel to decide later that they no longer like the taste of corals.

The irony is that when you read about them online most of what you'll read suggest that they primarily eat sponges in the wild. I have all sorts of sponges but my angels never touched a single one of them LOL. My theory on this is that when you put an angel like the Queen into your tank you are exposing it to a lot of things that they wouldn't normally be exposed to in the Carribean. This is perfectly fine by them though as they are more than happy to gobble up these fine morsels.
