What to feed for regal angel?
Hi Mike. Thanks for the angels! the bellus angel pair are eating and seems to be doing well. the female is out and about but the male is bit more shy.

I have a question though. The regal angel spends most of the day hidden behind rocks but it does come out once in a while. I am bit concerned about it not eating. its been about 4 days now but I have yet to see it eat. what was it eating in at your place? so far I have tried fresh clams on shell, fresh mussels in shell, frozen mysis, fresh chopped shrimps, fresh chopped squid and also some planktons but no go. Please let me know what it was eating before.

Thanks!

I don't know your tank is it a reef tank?
Is it a large tank?
Is he being harassed by any tank mates?
does he pick at the rocks at all?
