coral beauty angels are great fish. They tend to hang out in the open a lot, at least all of mine did. They seem to really enjoy marine cuisine, emerald entree, and angel / butterfly portions (all from san francisco brand frozen food). It is not uncommon for those fish to need 4-5 days to eat. They also enjoy green Nori. They tend to avoid the red Nori tho.

Thanks doc for the info, i went to petco today and picked up some frozen food for sale 30% off 3 packs or more, i got emerald entree marine cuisine and mysis shrimp, they were out of angel portions. I wanted to ask what is the best way to feed frozen? I saw the pet store thaw blood worms into a container and use a turkey baster to feed the tanks would that work with this food?

Take a cup of your tank water, and let the cube thaw in it. I used to dump it in a strainer to drain it, but I've been lazy recently and now I just dump the whole thing back into the tank. You don't need to use a turkey baster unless you are target feeding corals.

In a tank the size of yours,I doubt you'll need to feed the whole cube.
Just thaw it out,and add a pinch or 2 with some twezzers and keep the rest in the fridge.

okay dokay thanks

Thawing it is best for fish that do not like competition for their food. It allows the food to swirl around the water column and for the more shy animals to get the food they need while not getting bullied by bigger ones. If you just toss in a cube, the strongest fish will bounce it around and take most of it.

If you have voracious fish, I think they like to attack the cubes as part of their instinct. If you do want to toss in a frozen one, just chop it in half

Hmm one of my mushrooms is missing. dunno why. But i do have an idea. Item return? Lol

It probably detached, floated away, and reattached somewhere else. Mushrooms will do that.
