I’ve got a Coral Beuty and a Flame Angel. They’ve been with me for 8mo +. I’ve had to put them in the Fuge for a month or so because I suspected they were nipping corals. Now, they are in a QT. They seem healthy except for the CB’s color. Is this a symptom of something beyond nutrition? Durin there isolation, they were fed the same as while in the DT; Ocean Nutrition pellets. They also fed on sponges and adult copapods.
Ideas on why my CB has lost most of its color? What steps can I do bring this one back to full glory?

Is it a young angel? Any aggression between the two? Malnourishment, stress or Bacterial issues can cause this.

Any medications in the QT?

There have been past aggression issues but those stopped once they were banished to the sump. Now in QT, they get along great. Yes this is a young Angel but it used to have much better color. Here us a photo from 3 months before. I'll try to boost his nutrition intake. I can soak the pellets in Selcom and up the mysis shimp.
Hopefully I can turn this one around. Thanks for the feedback.

Yup, LRS Reef Frenzy should give it a buffet diet in a single food source.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
