I think my regal is nipping at my sps. I bought a trap but he won't go near it. The naso tang goes in and out of the trap all day. I put clam on the half shell in there as well as his normal food but he knows what I'm trying to do. What a pain.

Most of mine do that and I let them. It's not really that they actually do damage, all it does is diminishing the polyp extension during the daytime.
Though I have my oldest, the Philippine Regal, under suspicion to go after one of my giganteas. The one in his tank has a pretty bald side. It can't be the water quality or the light since the two other giganteas in that system are doing OK.
As for using a trap, that always worked for me. I use either a clam as bait or a mirror.

Interesting about the anemone. Makes me nervous since I have the same combo. Are there any clowns in the anemone or just too many anemones for them to keep protected?

I plan to document the entire thing as best I can.
I do plan to QT. Hypo for ich prevention and I have many other medications if needed.
Food on hand are PE mysis and Hakari pellets several types. I will grab some LIVE black worms tomorrow.
Some tips?

On hand medications if needed:
PraziPro
Cupramine (with test kit)
Also what's pictured below
QT is a 40 gallon cube.
Fluval 406 canister filter
Heater
PVC
Lid
Small powerhead
I have a great drip acclimation set up to precisely control drip rates and small heater to go in bucket.

Looks like you're prepared. I would also grab some hikari frozen mysis, it's a little smaller than the PE and may entice him if he's not interested in eating.
Other than that, I would do a formalin dip if you have it on hand, and use TTM for crypto.
Edit: whoops, posted that too soon. Looks like you have the formalin, I would do a dip.
Also, set the QT salinity to whatever the regal is coming in as. Don't drip. No chance of ammonia poisoning. A heater isn't necessary in the bucket either way.

Oh sweet! I have a bunch of those!!
I also wanted two but I think adding one at a time is better, or maybe not. Need to get my feet wet first you know right.
