Red Sea regal

[tony varrell]

I want to add a red sea regal to my SPS tank. However I have a VERY expensive Joculator in my system he has been with me for 2 years now. Can I expect any problems? The Joculator is very established and the only angel in the system. I have the following in the system
Blue Hippo
Blue throat trigger
Mystry Wrasse
Romboy Wrasse
Yellow Tang
lineatus wrasse
And 2 or 3 other fairy wrasses.

tony varrell,

Thank you for contacting us with your question. Congratulations on having a Joculator Angelfish are they are very rare, beautiful specimens. We recommend doing as much research as possible before adding a Regal Angelfish to your aquarium to protect the investment that you have with the Joculator.

The Regal Angelfish is an expert only fish and we would not recommend housing them together as Joculator angelfish are known to be territorial and aggressive with other angels. Some sources recommend keeping these together only with extreme caution but this would not be our recommendation.

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us at 1-800-334-3699.
