Is there anything you would add or remove from my feeding routine?

Right now I’m using:

Reef Nutrition R.O.E.

Reef Nutrition Oyster Feast

Rod’s Food

Mysis shrimp

Hikari Angel Formula

Brightwell Vitamarin-M

Brightwell Garlic

My current fish are:

3 Lyretail Anthias

Magma Fairy Wrasse

Splendid Pintail Wrasse

2 DaVinci Clownfish

Candy Basslet

Starry Blenny

Watanabe Angelfish

Ruby Longfin Wrasse

I’m mainly looking to make sure I’m providing a good variety of foods and meeting the nutritional needs of all of these fish. Is there anything you’d recommend adding, or anything you think is unnecessary?

My fish would like to move to your tank.🙂

Any Dwarf Angel specific foods including marine sponge?
no but ill probably swap out the hikari angel formula for the san francisco bay angel blend to get the sponge covered
 
I would add krill as part of the feeding rotation but overall looks good and there is no need for you to add krill, krill has very good nutritional value

Do dwarfs have the requirement of sponge that large angels do?
I have no quantitative information regarding the difference between the two types.
It's my experience that CB do fine in moderately established aquariums, no significant dietary requirements. Flame Angels have been more difficult, and benefit from Angel Specific foods. Cherub too aggressive, but did well on Rod's Frozen.
 
My cherub was a tyrant. Just got an Eibli and a lemon peel as juveniles raising them together hopefully that they will stay social.
 
Brine Shrimp Direct large flakes are eaten well by most marine fish, not as a meal but a supplement. My fish go ape sheet over Hikari frozen bloodworms, spirulina brine is good too.
 
I personally would remove all those liquid products and vitamins as well as all the dry foods.

The Rods food will give the fish all the nutrition they need. I would also add some fresh or live foods like fresh or frozen clams and live blackworms. Those last two things I mentioned are for living gut bacteria that fish need for immunity.

The vitamins and garlic just get washed off and doesn't do anything.
Just my opinion of course.
