Coral Beauty doesn't want to eat anything but algae

[DanG]

I'm at a loss for what to feed this guy. He's been eating his way through the bit of hair algae I had in my tank, but doesn't seem to want any of what I'm feeding anyone else.

I've tried:
- mysis
- frozen cyclopeeze
- bloodworms
- red nori
- green nori
- ON formula two flakes
- ON prime reef flakes
- ON formula one marine pellets

I've tried all the above both in their natural state as well as soaked in entice and garlic guard, nothing. In the store, I saw him eat the ON prime reef flakes.

For an omnivore, he's a really picky fish.

There's a bit of GHA left in the tank that he's munching, but between him and the blue tang, they're going through it pretty quick.

Anyone got a suggestion on anything else to try?

i have the same problem with my coral beauty. had mine for 2 months now and will now take any type of food i put in the tank, even with garlic guard.. all he does is eats algea off the glass and and rocks.. he has not touch any of my sps corals or any other corals aswell...

My flame angel was like that too, all he did was peck at the live rock for about 3 months. Then slowly started to eat pe mysis after about 3 months. Just started to eat nori after about 8 months.

I can't complain cause its an angel and they usually peck at corals. hes doing very good so i'll just let him do/ eat what he wants too
