Lemonpeel Angel Diet

vijay_06 · Nov 11, 2025

The Lemonpeel Angel I bought 3 weeks ago has been eating oniy Nori and picking stuff off live rocks. I feed different types of pellets, mysis and LRS reef frenzy to other dishes, but the Lemonpeel is not interested in eating those.

There is no aggression from other fishes. Should I be concerned it is only eating veggies? He is on the smaller side (2.5 inches) and seems very active and healthy.

Just give her time.. I also bought a lemon peel about three weeks ago. Second day began picking on rocks, fifth day pick on some Nori. Week three she’ll pick a few pellets off the sand that have sunk and takes a few bites of flak food. Also will eat a few fish eggs.
They are really beautiful in active fish. I’m sure give it another week or so your lemon will pick it other foods.
Good luck, but I’m sure she’ll be OK.

It took her like a week, but she has been eating frozen food and pellets from that point on.
