Recommend a good diet for a Coral Beauty

[CMOS]

Howdy All,

I have a new young Coral Beauty in my reef tank and wanted some suggestions as to specific food products for this fish. She's enjoying the algae on the reef for now, and nibbling on the Krill fragments I drop in for the Firefish Goby but I want something more specific her her "veggie" diet.

Suggestions on products that you have used?

Thanks,
CMOS

I've used and recommend everything that has been posted here, for marine fishes that are omnivores: Feeding Marine Fish and Fish Nutrition

I used Ocean Nutrition's frozen Pygmy Angel Formula for my coral beauty. In fact, I have used virtually every product Ocean Nutrition sells with great success. On the seaweed, I stopped buying the brown and stuck with just the red and the green. I had a coral beauty, a foxface rabbitfish, an orchid dottyback and three fairy wrasses.

  Pygmy Angels Centropyge sp. (Flame, Lemon Peel, Coral Beauty, Potter's, Fisher's, Bi-Color, Atlantic Cherubfish, etc.) have a specialized diet in nature that is entirely different from the sponge diet of larger Angels (Pomacanthus, Holocanthus, etc.). We have combined several species of Marine Algae & Spirulina, with fresh seafoods and supplements & pigments to create the perfect formula for the health and beauty of these highly desirable aquarium specimens.

Ingredients
  Tropical marine algae (Caulerpa, Ulva, Hypnea, Gracilaria), kelp (Euphausids), krill hydrolysate, shrimp, squid, brine shrimp, spinach, salmon roe, peas, spirulina, fish oil, casein, lecithin, astaxanthin, canthaxanthin (for color enhancement). Vitamins: potassium ascorbate, beta-carotene, biotin, hydroxocobalamin (source of vitamin B12), niacin, riboflavin, thiamine HCL. Amino acids: methionine (dl-methionine), L-Lysine, taurine. Trace elements: calcium chloride, potassium iodide, ferrous sulfate, manganese sulfate, magnesium carbonate, zinc sulfate.
