Hello all,
As the title suggests, I recently purchased a roughly 2" scribbled angel that I have not observed eating to this point.... it is in a 4' 75g observation tank solo with a good amount of established live rock;some old, some newer. One of the pieces has a considerable amount of sponge on it. Have offered kelp flakes, nori, RN flakes, masstick, a plethora of frozen, algae pellets, omnivores pellets and clam on the half shell which I saw it peck at once. Fish acts normal, grazing rocks which I can't imagine it's getting much of anything from but then again, the sponge?... reacts to me when I come to tank darting under cover but then wandering out. No behavioral or external appearance red flags.... stomach doesnt seem impacted but definitely not full either (wonder if it's eating when I leave the room)... wondering about adding dither fish to the aquarium like a trio of bangaii cardinals just to possibly inspire it to eat or at last effort, possibly chance adding him to a display where it'd have natural things to eat which I know is very risky but it was quite pricey.... have had the fish about 5 days. Any thoughts, experience or advice is more than welcomed. Thx.
