Mine took to real seafood blended with nori. Now will eat anything.

Im curious how you made this food with nori?

I go to local seafood store buy salmon shrimp scallops and whatever else seafood that hasnt been frozen add sheets of nori chlorella flakes new life spectrum pellets and put all in food processor and blend together zip lock bag push flat break apart and then use tank water to thaw then feed. Cheaper than any frozen you would buy from any lfs

Fwiw hes now eating nori, frozen supermarket shrimp and mysis. Hes also the boss of the tank. And he still eats those mussels. Just needed some time.

Glad he is eating. I would only feed fresh seafood never frozen unless you freeze it yourself.

Whats wrong with frozen seafood?

Nothing really should have said to avoid preservatives if possible.

Got my transitioning Emperor Angel tonight; will have to get a photo down the road. He's in an observation tank now. But I wanted you to know that my R2R thread search pulled you up first, and I wanted to give a shout-out. It's a dream fish, for sure.

By the way, I feed 1 cracked open Mussel per day to my tank (fresh from the supermarket, then frozen by me), and it's everyone favorite meal. Lol. Best wishes!

Fwiw mine is not afraid of any tank member. I seen him attack my yellow tang and chase my scopas away from his Rock. But this isnt a constant attack merely a single attack.

I also seen him pecking the skin of my orange spot rabbitfish seemingly harmless as he didnt even move lol. Orange spot rabbitfish is 9" and the emperor is 4.5"

Here is my emperor angel now. Hes stopped eating for a few days now. The only difference is i added some weather stripping to the glass lid, dosed 52grams of potassium and added an outside airline. To the skimmer. Not sure whats going on but he seems healthy. Ill buy some clams today maybe hell eat one.
