Anything soft and fleshy is fair game for any angel. If they are not eating your softies its just because they havent figured it out yet. All of my angels eat clams and anything else soft. However, clams is their favorite food and I bet even my tangs would tear a live one apart if i put it in the tank now since they eat frozen clams all the time. Even my tangs have learned to graze slime off of the sps. They learn to eat from other fish and after they figure it out any Angel will eat almost anything in your tank. My big Emperator eats a quarter of an inch at a time when he decides to graze an sps. However, in my experience, Angels and Butterflies as well are reef safe with SPS. They will all learn to eat just about anything soft and fleshy. I have caught mine grazing on a leather coral and gorgonians as well. I hate to repost this video, but here are some angel pics if you havent seen them in another thread. Notice in all my videos, the fish graze constantly and they pick at everything. They have learned to do this over the years. It takes a new fish a couple months to figure it out but they all do eventually and then most of them get very omnivorous.Bump for any others out there and a quick question for regal owners. I have a opportunity to pick up a red sea regal angel that has been in a holding system for over 2 weeks. It's eating mussels and pellets like crazy. No shipping needed so not only would it he a quick pick up and no stress with shipping, but I'd see it eat! Here's my issue: if it's eating mussels that good, then my clams would be definitely on the menu I assume right? Thanks y'all
