Angel fish

Swallowtail male angel
Doesn't want to eat

http://www.marinecenter.com/fish/an...wtailangelmale/

I have tried flakes, and frozen mysis shrimp, ocean plankton (which the female loves), brine shrimp, krill and nori...And he won't come out until the MH bulbs are off and the tank lights are about to go off!
Any suggestions?

Try soaking the food in a marine aquarium approved Garlic extract (a few of these products out there). This may entice the appetite to come back. I'm going thru the same thing with a new Coral Beauty.

Is the angel grazing on algae in the tank???

no he is not. I always soak my food in garlic. To spark the interest in the fish! But no go but i've had him in the tank now for about 1 week and i figured he seems to be eating something he hasn't died or anything
