Hi All,

First post on here! I have a 220 gallon FOWLER, currently just a juvenile Blonde Naso & a juvenile Emporer Angel. I've had tangs, triggers, puffers, but its my 1st time ever buying an Angelfish..

I got him 3 days ago and he seems to only like grazing on live rock. I've tried frozen brine, mysis, flakes, pellets, clams, nori etc. It doesn't seem interested. It also seems pretty shy.

I've only seen it eat a couple pieces of mysis.. and then he will go back to grazing. Is this normal? On the plus side.. he seems pretty fat so I'm guessing he's eating quite a bit with his grazing.

There's absolutely no aggression with the Naso.. they actually follow eachother around 24/7 and seem to like eachothers company.

Should I be concerned? Or should I just let it keep grazing and keep trying to feed him frozen?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

How large is the angelfish?

You could try Masstick gel diet, or a live mussel on the half shell.
