The maculiceps has not recovered from the tail beating dished out by the achilles. It began to show signs of infections, but I was not willing to tear down my reef in an "attempt" to catch him so I could work on treating him.
This morning when I was looking at the tank, he was not in his usual cave. I finally found him near the surface. I grabbed the net and in my 1st swoop, he was in the net; A little luck never hurts
I now need to a little more research on treating the fish with either Neomycin or Kanamycin and Nifurpirinol.

Hey Mark, are you dead set on the Regal being a RS? IME I have had better luck with the ones from Sumatra. I have had in a few and for me the RS have not faired well lately. I can tell you though all of them have been Zoa munchers as I'm sure you know. A few years ago the Red Sea ones were the best by far and now it doesn't seem that way. Heck I could just be lucky though too 
Rob, I want the red sea version just as they are more colorful. Tim had the indian ocean version in his reef and its still very nice.
I think that if I keep telling myself that I want the RS regal knowing there aren't any coming in, there is no conflict with my zoas
Did you go to LA as well? I picked up a golden blenny from YR today. Rich was out there so we BS'd a bit. Its always good to see some of the "good guys".

OK, nothing too fancy but I got the tank stand all completed and put the maculiceps into official QT.
I also hit 3 fish stores looking for medication. I found some neomycin. I will be hunting tomorrow as well. I have two products that I am looking for. I hope to have a little better luck.

Thanks Jeremy. I figured I could forgo a little sleep in order for the maculiceps to get a medicated bath.
Besides, the European championships started yesterday so I was up watching match anyways
I stayed up and watched most of Turkey vs Portugal
Sounds like you have a busy day yesterday!!!
Did Warren finally see his fish???
Large deepwater angels are sometimes really tricky to get eat 
So far I have tried, mysis, brine, bloodworms, angel formula, formula II, live brines, clams on the half shell, artic pods, fuzzy phytes, blue zoo, spectrum pellets, spectrum flakes and nori.

Jeremy,
I have been a little down as the maculiceps is not doing well and Warrens bandit still is not eating and started showing signs of stress including ich yesterday Warren said that he got a great deal on the fish, but taking care of other peoples coral and fish is very stressful.
I was happy to find kanaplex and neoplex, both by seachem, at a LFS. When I was walking around I also spotted a 2.5" blue and gold juvenile leopard wrasse
Here is a decent shot of the golden blenny I picked up yesterday at YR.
