She's eating something, she poops out enormous quantities of long green strings... But am I wasting my time with nori? I've never seen her try cyclopeeze, or even live brine shrimp. What _do_ CBs eat? What should I try to feed her to keep her healthy long term?
Probably or maybe. Coral Beauty Dwarf Angels eat a variety of things but, their main diet is algae. while foraging around the tank scraping at the algae they ingest all sorts of tiny bugs such as copepods, etc. They also nip at corals although not as often as other Angels. I wouldn't worry about your CB if she's pooping enormous quantities green stuff.

What you don't want to see is thin white stringy poop. That's a sign of a distressed digestive system and occurs mostly in newly purchased specimens. Without proper feeding, that condition can easily lead to death.
