Pygmy cherub angel feeding tips?

[emsilkina]

I got a pygmy cherub a few days ago and I tried to feed it today and yesterday but it does not seem to be feeding well. I fed it Mysis shrimp at night because that's the time I feed my clownfish, but the angel stayed hidden in the rocks and did not seem to be eating. Is this behavior normal?

My friend had a potters angel that started out the same way, He would just keep offering food and eventually she accepted it. Has your angel been nipping at the rocks? If so it is a good sign it's looking for food, maybe getting some from the rock. If you want to try take a small rock or dead coral smear food on it and place it were she nibbles the most. Note food will quickly flake off of rock so don't over do it.

try masstick and use @Aldrinlights trick. it should stick on longer. once the fish gets used to masstick, you can start sticking it on the glass. live brine shrimps might be helpful in enticing them.
