I saw my Coral Beauty pecking on the LR all the times. But I don't think there's any algae on my LR for it to eat. What should I feed it b4 it goes hungry and decide to dine on my corals. There used to be long tentacle worms sticking out of my LR, I think the coral beauty already ate all of the worms sticking out. I have a lawnmower blenny that's free if you can catch it w/out messing w/ my LR. I don't need an algae eating competitor to my Coral Beauty.

Do Coral Beauty eat Nori Clip? Lettuce?

Wal-Mart sell the Spice World brand of Minced Garlic. Can I use the juice from that garlic bottle?

My coral beauty eats about anything that I put in, flake, live/frozen brine, pellets. I've never seen him pick at any of my corals as of yet. He is constantly picking at my LR also but doesn't seem to bother the spaghetti worms that are all over it. I've had him for over three years now though so he isn't so picky.

Both of my CB eat anything. They do both nibble off of the nori clip. I feed that pygmy angel diet every few days, and they go crazy when I do. They love it! But, as Josh said (one of these is his) they will eat ANYTHING I put into the tank!

I've found that they are very picky eaters when we first get them in. I've had the best success in getting them started by feeding very small foods such as crushed spirulina flake, daphnia, cyclop-eeze, etc.

Mine actually eats many kind of food that I fed it, but it's kind of shy and slow rigth now. So, the other fishes would rush and eat up the food b4 the CB get his fair share.

At the store I feed ours marine cuisine and spirullina enriched brine shrimp. They love it.
