I remember someone was making a frozen food for angels that had sponge in it... I can't remember who it was tho, need to look into that.
So I watched a video earlier from MACNA several years ago on keeping angels in reef tanks. Guy speaking said angels eat sponge in the wild because it's available. It isn't necessarily a dietary requirement. The key to getting one that will eat things that aren't sponge is get a young but not too young fish. His recommendation was 3-4" range. Smaller and they don't handle shipping well, larger and they've already decided what food is and will refuse anything but. 3-4" they are still in that phase where they are open to a lot of foods and strong enough shipping won't kill them. It was a REALLY good talk with lots of good info.The one I used to get was Ocean Nutrition angel feast as far as I remember, all my fish loved it.
I've been watching like a hawk. Did a lot of research and the majestic is the best bet out of the large angels for not eating coral. It's also one of the smaller large angels topping out at 10"... where a queen angel (absolutely beautiful fish btw) could easily reach 18". I saw a queen in a very large public aquarium... actually its the South Carolina Aquarium. It had to be a 15+lb fish. The thing made trophy size largemouth bass look like a fairy wrasse. I've seen a French angel the ssme size at another public aquarium.Keep an eye on your fleshy corals with the angel. I've heard they could start munching on them. Only reason I have not bought one.
