Food for an angel?

We recently got a coral beauty. I've been feeding the Formula 2 (per fish store employee's rec), but she's not interested. I also put some nori in there, but she hasn't touched it. She does eat the mysis that I feed the other fish and seems to graze on the rocks. She hasn't bothered any coral (thank goodness).

Should I try another type of food, or is this okay?

Try Zoanthids, and Tree corals

My Bi-Color eats flakes and loves them.

seriously,, try to keep a diet of coral, algae, & Brine Shrimp. brine is the best food to feed & ONLY frozen cubes of brine shrimp, i know, ive kept my coral beauty for 4 years now. trust me on this

they hate flake foods or anything dried

mysis is good occasionally but not normally

I have 2 types of angels in my reef tank & they all absolutely love mysis & flake, but I also feed Ocean Nutrition angel formula & spirulina formula along w/ cyclopeeze that they go crazy for, they are all fat & happy

. Mine will not touch anything on a veggie clip.
