    lots of fish are more interested in food that is in motion, or the "current". but if hes taking mysis and whatever else you offered, i wouldnt worry too much

    He is taking mysis. I just noticed he looked at the flake before deciding not to eat it. This was a first. Surely he will settle down some in the coming days and start eating more variety.

    Navarchus angels are not water column eaters. They peck and eat all day long. They will eat out of the water column if they are hungry, but that is not their general disposition.

    Okay I might have been freaking out just a bit. I fed him again tonight this time only flake food. He ate several pieces of food. I have also seen him picking at the live rock in the tank. I know there are tons of copepods in the tank so he may be eating those as well. Hopefully all goes well.
