Regal angel coral suggestions?

[las]

In your experience, What corals do regal angels nip/eat the most?

 

[ca1ore]

Although there will always be individual exceptions, my sense is (from both personal experience and reports from others) is that Zooanthids will be eaten with gusto, LPS and clams may be bothered, but SPS will be left alone.

Are there any zoos that can be cultured easily? I'm thinking of supplementing my regals diet with zoos if it's feasible to grow them.

My regal doesn't touch zoas, and IMO it wouldn't be that beneficial to try to offer coral. Look into culturing macroalgae and sponges instead, my regal loves it.

What about Xenia?

How do u culture sponges? Are u talkin about the little white ones that grow or large orange sponges ?

I have had my regal for over a year now. I have 1000's of zoas, tons of lps, sps and piles of xenia and it doesn't touch anything. Somedays the fish is very shy, and sometimes she is out and about without hesitiation.

She survived my crash last fall.

The one I had in a reef ate any brain corals, after a few moths of being fine with chalices, ate all the chaliices over a weekend, constantly nipped at a dendrophyllia colony, but never touched zoas, polyps, or sps.

Mine ate all my zoas and xenia, but left everything else alone.
