The last Coral Beauty I had was similar to my flame angels, always out and about picking on the live rock and too often my soft corals. I would think your angel would have settled in after two weeks. Was it QT? Has it lost weight? Have you seen it’s poop? Respiration normal? Any shaking of it’s head? Try to give us more details so we can better help you and your fish.
Yes. And it hasn't lost any weight I left some seaweed on a clip near the rock it likes to hide in and I see it picking at that but right after it's done it goes and hides again. It's not just sitting still in the rock it swims around and pokes it's head out and looks around every few minutes then goes back in. When I woke up this morning and went to check on it it was out for a few minutes and it was picking at some algae off a turbo snail but a few minutes later it just went to hide again.

I have a pair of CB. I got the first one on 3/21/19. Until just recently he/she appeared to be afraid of my presence. If I weren't near the tank he/she would swim out in the open and grazing. If I were near the tank he would hide in caves but would quickly move from cave to cave hiding from me. He now comes up to the glass watching me while I'm near the tank. I think they just take a while to get used to their new environment.

Now they have nearly acclimated to full reef lighting, I can try to get a half decent picture:
Presumed, Male Above, Female Below
It was very tricky to get the colors right, perhaps neither quite capture the colors right, but sort of show an exaggeration of the difference.

I have had two but both withered away after 6-8 months. Not sure why but I am not going to try another one for a long time. Good luck with yours!
That look more like he's either getting the beat down from another fish or fin rot possibly.Just wondering if this maybe a sign of flukes. Only my angel is showing signs.
It almost looks like extra slim coat around the fin/ gill area. Just wondering if I should treat the DT with prazipro. I haven't seen anyone chasing him around.. hes one of the bigger fish in the 220 gal.
No he looked really good. I have noticed he will start swimming on his side or upside down. Thought maybe he was just a weird guy but I'm starting to see it more.. also started cutting back on eating.. but is still eating so far
I would try to observe the Angel and the tank mates after lights out. Its very well possible he's bedding down with someone that doesn't like him in their established spot.
When I do my tank upgrade from a 20g to a frag 60.3 (40gallon DT) I'm debating on the dwarf angels love the colors and look, but definetly worried about ending up with one that picks at corals doing my research and planning on if I do, rocking a cheap coral, in the qt with it to see if it nips. Also plannign to do things better with my upgrade i.e QT, and dipping of corals, and treatign fish before they go into the DT =)
