    So I just picked up a Coral Beauty today, and was wondering what everyone has had the best luck feeding them?

    Thanks for any input!

    Yes, easy to care for. Pus about a 1.5" square of dried seaweed every-other day. I often see it grazing on my rocks. I don't know how it is with corals.

    It will also eat flake foods, but I don't like them because they make my water gross.

    it likes the algae wafers sometimes give to my cleaner shrimp.

    Try to get something for angelfish so it will have sponges in it. Might help keep the angle from sampling your corals.;)

    Just thought I'd mention that if an old glass heater got much hotter than that it would likely shatter if taken out of the water...

    I feed mine Formula 2 flakes and frozen mysis (different types) for the last 1.5 years. For some reason he doesn't accept dried seaweed but every now and then I try anyway.

    Ocean Nutrition or OSI Spirulina flake. Absolutely great for Flame Angels and Coral Beauty Angels. They love it and it's excellent nutrition for them. I feed it to all my fish at least 50% of the time.
