Dwarf Angels LOVE Diatoms!

[Bad Company]

I recently set up a new tank, and after cycling it, I put a Flame Angel in it.

I was concerned because it wasn't eating anything, not mysis, spirolina, bloodworms, nothing. But it is FAT! It stuffs itself on diatoms all day long. As this is a new tank, I cant imagine that it would control them on its own... but if you had a small diatom bloom, and a willingness to risk a dwarf angle with your corals...

For real? Got any video of it eating it?

The Flame Angel pecks at everything, but the evidence is the back glass which has tons of cleared circles where it cleans off the glass. My diatoms are starting to clear up now on their own though. He is a fat fish though now...
