I have a Queen Angel that doesn't get any special Angel formula and seems to do quite well. Most the angel foods I looked at really didn't have much in the way of sponge anyway.
From what I can find though, the Rock Beauty might require more sponge than a Queen.
What I do is look around the LFS for any rocks where sponges are growing and ask if they can scrap some off. I grow some in another tank, but seldom see my angel eat it.
Lots if spirulina, nori and mysis keeps mine happy.

Aquarium food containing sponge is not available in Canada. If you really want it, you can go down to the states and get it yourself or ship to a US address. Either way you have to go down south to get it.
Good luck with your rock beauty. I have a good collection of angel fish but I personally avoid that fish because of its diet requirements.

I think San Francisco Bay Brand's Angel & Butterfly frozen food has some sponge in it? Last time I was there, PJ's in Richmond had some in stock.

I recall that brand lists sponge on the ingredients, but way down the list to the point I wasn't willing to count it as sponge in the food

A month ago I saw King Ed has carried the dry pellet ocean nutrition, give them a call and see if they still have them.
