Regal angel and semifasciatus angel comparability?

[las]

Hi

I have a Red Sea regal angel about 5" male. I'm planning on adding a Masked Swallowtail (genicanthus fasciatus) male also approx 5".

Is anyone keeping these two fish together currently? My tank is a 120 gallon reef and it definitely isn't the final resting place. The larger tank is a year down the line.

Now, I'm prepared to keep these fish separately if I have to since I also have a 90 gallon reef that currently houses the regal angel. I was just thinking that maybe they'd both be better off in the 120.

I was planning on getting the semifasciatus after I had the large reef established but I never see these guys available. Esp a 5" male on DD. So, I've decided to get it.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Go for it, I don't see any problem. I have not kept them together but I have experience with both (although my regal skills are not so hot...).

Yours and most others. I'm 0 for 3. The last one I had ate but I killed it with a secondary infection from CP... Several hundred dollar learning experience

I've been reading on here since I started this thread and it seems the male seifasciatus get aggressive and lose male coloration without a female.

The aggressiveness has me wondering if I should rethink this. There's other fish I want to add that would be Angels

Get a Red Sea regal.... Significantly easier than other regals

Among my many angels, I do have a Regal with a trio of swallowtails (1m & 2f, not masked) ... They get along fine

I have a Red Sea Regal for about 3 years now. I have had it with a mature pair of Bellus - With no issues and no interaction at all. And after a tank crash, which the Regal survived I am now raising a pair of tiny juvenile bellus with no issues. My regal is a very shy fish and doesn't swim in the open very often. It likes to be in the caves. The Bellus are out in the open water all the time.

Bellus angels are one of my favorites, especially the females

I have a pair in with a Regal, along with many other Angels, without issue... They are total pigs when it comes meal time, both the male and female.
