Behavior

Diet & Feeding
The Holacanthus bermudensis is an omnivore and likes to feed on marine algae, mysid shrimp, Spirulina, Sponges and other fresh or frozen seafoods. The diet of all larger angels consists heavily of sponge material, so it is recommended to feed “Angel Formula” by: Ocean Nutrition, which has a very high sponge percentage mixed in the food
