Mine likes just about any frozen food I put in the tank, as well as the seaweed sheets.

I would not put more than 1 in a tank, and I would also recommend keeping him well fed or he might munch on your corals.

Mine eats algae off the rocks all day...I add nori for my tangs, but I don't see the CB eat it...it does eat the frozen (mostly meaty) foods I add for the other fish well though...they can be a harder fish to take "prepared" foods...there are some specific "angel/tang" preparations on the market if you "need" them.

When i used to have mine he would eat the frozen brine shrimp but he would graze all day too.

As stated already it is best to keep him single.

Best of luck with the new fish. A coral beauty is on my wish list. I was just at the LFS looking at a coral beauty. I saw more than 1 grazing off of the LR. I wasn't impressed with the selection today, I passed. Maybe next time.

I wouldnt be so concerned with the bio load as much as the angels will be fighting. Never really a good idea to mix two dwarfs.

adding 2 angels is 50/50 at best . I have a CB and a flame angel together and they get along fine , my tank is a 7foot 150 though and the first day I added the FA to the tank they fought llike crazy . Once the lights went off they went and hid for the night , by the next day they were fine together and have been ever since . But as mentioned before I would be more conerned with the bio load then with the two fish getting along and theres also a 50/50 chance that one or both might take a liking to your corals

And you have a decent assortment of soft corals for them to choose from.

I was actually agreeing with the post by reefmanwannabe and am hoping that you got lucky and it will not develop a taste for your corals.

Update on the Cb...he is grazing on the algae on the lr...bought some pygmy angel food so far no interest...purchased some lr safe ich medicine. Treating the tank with it this morning he had more ick on him but he is still swimming around nicely and not messing with any of my corals!
