New Red Sea REGAL ANGELS!

[Reel North]

Went to my favourite local reef shop today after getting word they had a new shipment in of anthias, Angels and other goodies. Place is the Coral Reef Shop in Burlington, ontario

He has 5 really nice Regal Angels that had just come in. One was a misbar, with a set of bars that looked like a giraffe. My buddy grabbed that one. I picked up 2 that are about 3", and look fat and bright eyed.

I have just finished cycling my 110 g (36x60") frag table and sump, so I put them in there.

I also added a piece of live rock from my display tanks sump, which has some sponge and other fun stuff on it.

They were both swimming around in their private ocean tonight. They look so tiny in there!

I figure I'll observe them for a few days, and feed a little to see how they do.

I've read a bunch on regals, and have a 4" regal in my display that eats like a pig. I love these fish. They are so beautiful and graceful.

Any tips on what to look for or to feed them to keep them happy?

Here you go! I'm holding the PBT and purple tang for a friend.

Tomorrow I'll get some long neck clams and put them in for lunch lol.

Thanks. Going to get some LR food with the eggs. Apparently it's a home run for finicky fish

What is lr food?

 

[Reel North]

Larrys reef. It's the reef frenzy line of foods. It's awesome stuff

Beautiful Fish!

I want to get one SO bad!

Just have to figure out what corals I can keep them with...

You said they are 3"?

Larry's reef with the eggs? lol

It's fish frenzy lol. Couldn't remember the name.

I have 1 in my reef right now, and the only thing it's picked at is my acans. So I'll just move the acans to my frag system.

If you want Angels, you need to pick corals that are good with the fish. To be honest, the one in my reef is a pretty awesome fish. They pick at the rocks all day long. Once they have confidence they're out all the time. No boisterous fish though, or they just hide.
