Regal Angel Primer

Mine nip at lps every once in a while but don't do any damage from what I can see. No experience with clams but considering that's the only thing either would eat when I first got them so much so that I don't dare try one now.
 
Well I just picked mine up from the lfs I picked him up the day he arrived I wasn't going to but he was from the red see he is yellow chested and fat as can be he even has a little bit of a gut. My purple tang harassed him a little so far but since the lights were off he hasn't noticed him. I put a crap load of food in and he took interest to it chasing it but never took a bite that I could see. So he might already be eating Im not sure yet but by far the coolest fish I own
 
I picked one up about a month ago. He is not eating prepaired foods but is eating the small zoanthids, and grazing off the rocks and sponges.
He leaves the larger zoa gigantus alone. (PPE type polyps) Need to plumb up a zoa tank this weekend.
I'll leave him a ton of green dragone eye's for him to munch on.
He does not like my coral beauty and zebra lyretail angels. As moonpod mentioned it has gotten a typical angel attitude.
 
I have not updated progress on mine in a while but he is doing very well and here is a pic of him.

My regal is finnally looking at and inspecting prepaired foods, But is still aggressivly eating zoanthids and sponge growing in the tank. Good thing i have loads of sponge and green zoa's for it to mow over. Its getting pretty terratorial, But not too bad. It def is no pushover to any fish in my tank.
Looking to add a goldflake angel in the coming mos.
 
question....can a regal angel be housed in a 65g...I remember looking at an old TOTM and seeing one in the same tank dimension I have and it was LOADED with corals. I've had success with keeping larger fish in my tank, but had to give them up when they got too big....hippo tang, lavender tang, purple tang... but I'd like to keep the angel in my tank. Any suggestions, the tank is sps

I wouldn't reccomend it. I think a larger tank would be better suited. What other fish are in the tank currently?

That's tough. How long have you had it? is it eating? The more info you can give the better. QT is an option but sometimes induces more stress and ends up badly. Any other fish showing symptoms? If the regal is eating you may be better off keeping it well fed and see how things go in the display. Also how bad are the visible symptoms? Few spots or full blown? Do you have a pic?

i had a temp change and it went from a few spot to full blown in hours.. i just purchaced the guy couple day ago and he hasnt ate yet. ive tryed to let him get used to te tank but it seems my sohal is also been being alittle bully at times. i really dont want to remove him as this will cause more stress to him...
 
IMO he's already stressed due to the parasite and the tang. Sounds like leaving him in the tank will not end well. I think your best bet is to remove him from the stressful enviroment andput him in a hospital tank and begin treating him. What have you been trying to feed him?
 
Yes, buy a sensitive Regal Angel, don't QT and put it directly in with super-aggressive fish. This can only lead to success.
 
Mine is eating pellets today with a vengence. After he cleared every small polyp zoa out he finnally is hungry for other food.
He didnt eat one bit in QT after almost 3 weeks i got worried and since he didnt show any disease or bugs he went into DT.
He leaves the larger paly type zoa's alone.
Now to hunt a healthy goldflake down.
