Regal angels are generally model citizens when it comes to picking on sps. Not to sure about zoas though. I have one in my sps tank and it didn't pick on anything. There are lots of people out there with mutiple angels in their sps reef tanks.

They almost always go after zoas IME. Typically sps and lps are fine.

Mine eats zoas and some lps. Can pic at sps but just passively I think
Those lps would be at risk IME.

I feel that its all about the size of the Regal that you purchase....mine was BABY(1") size....now she or he is 2 1/2 long....never touches my zoas....just feed well and I feel that you will be ok....had my red sea for 1 1/2 years now....

When you say feed well how much daily ? I may try one but I'd hate it to eat my corals I may get a flame angel too

I had a regal for about 5 years in a reef...mostly with softies. He ateall the zoas soon after placing him in the tank, but he seemed to leave soft corals and LPS (euphyllia) alone. I had no SPS, but I think they are in general more safe with angels.

A local reefer just had to sell his after it took a liking to his Acans.

I had one that was eating zoa's in another tank and in mine he never touched them or the brown trash paly's(which I secretly wanted him to eat).

IMO, this fish is so amazing that you should plan a tank around it FIRST, but the corals are secondary. SPS & noxious softies. Also Corallimorpharians. I have been trying, but nothing will eat the bloody things! LOL
