He is eating from rocks, I can see him eating sponge from my live rock, I think I have seen him eat a few pieces of mysis. He us about 5 inches from head to tail.
 
Darth- I haven't been to the Shanty in a while. Has ther livestock selection improved? Were either of the Regals eating at the store prior to you buying one? Also did you QT or do a dip before putting into the tank? BTW, Your specimen is a beauty, good luck with it.
 
I live much closer to Tropaquarium, but Pet Shanty has gotten me some fish that are rare and in great health. Their prices are also half my local shop. The regal was 119
 
Very nice, he makees me miss my Regal. Had one for about 8 months, he ate out of my hand after 3 days in the tank. I lost him to a fungus that was introduced when I didn't Q a firefish.

That fungus wiped out 3/4 of my tank including fish I had for over 2 years and one I had for about 4 years. good luck and if you could PM me a price and whether or not that store will ship to NC Please!

Hey guys,
Took some new photos today... He has been doing well for 3 months now. Still eating clams on the half shell, and the veggie bites.

It's funny that I've seen two threads on RC members buying regals, because last weekend I went to two different LFS and they both had RS Regals for sale (both in the $120 range).

I wonder if the collection of this species is year round, or seasonal? Or maybe the demand is less internationally? I say this b/c I rarely see them, and then I see two in one weekend.

Interesting.
 
Gorgeous fish! I'm glad it's doing well for you :). You have a really nice tank from what I can see, too!
 
Just happy to say after 5 months my Yellow Belly is eating Mysid, and almost anything from the water column... He started with clams, then green veggies broken up... First 2 for about 4 months or so... Then 2 weeks ago medium sized pellets, and in the last 2 days mysid shrimp....
