Reef Central Online Community - View Single Post - Flame angel on a New Reef Tank Without Live Rock

I got a small flame angel about a week ago and he is in a QT eating nori and frozen mysis shrimp.

My DT(29 gallon) is newly setup & cycled and no algae yet. Without the live rock, I'm concerned that he might go after the corals when I introduce him to the DT.

I'm planning to feed nori (once daily) and 2 servings of frozen/flake food.

Shall I try:
1. to put an LPS Coral frag on the QT (It is not medicated yet) for a couple of days to see if he goes after it.. It will be easier to remove him from the QT rather than in the DT.
2. Any other recommendations to supplement his diet for the lack of live rock to resist the urge to go after the coral?!
