Flame angel
 
Can't seem to get the new flame angel to eat, had him for about 48hrs. Any suggestions?

I wouldn't worry quite yet, I've had new additions to my tank not eat for over a week.

Try soaking the food in garlic extreme which sometimes stimulates the fish to eat.
Also avoid being near the tank. Your fish is stressed from the transfer so observe her from a distance for the next few days.
Good Luck

I found my Flame angel took a while to eat as well, but once it started to eat there has been no end since.

Ditto.

It took a few days but my Flame eats Formula 1 and 2 flake, mysis and nori.

Unfortunately he also polished off my pair of cleaner shrimp.

wait another day and try some myis shrimp or brime shrimp....
New fishes usually take a day up to a couple weeks to eat....
