Color Fade in Flame Angel

[Vmacisback]

Anyone know why the red in my Flame Angel is starting to fade after just a couple days of adding him? Seems to be eating pellets and anything I try and feed. Is there something that will help regain his original bright color?

Yes, frozen mysis shrimp would be a better food choice.

Maybe nori also.

Did you QT it?

After 2 days, the diet shouldn't be changing its color.

What other fish do you have? Is it being stressed at all?

just 2 Bartlett's anthias, a yellow tang, blue tang and a flasher wrasse. I think it just may be stressed.

Make sure to offer algae sheets/nori. Dwarf angels need it in their diets.
