I posted this on the other Regal angle thread. Will copy it here also.
These are pictures of the Regal angels at about the same size for color comparison, both baby and both adult coloration but not fully adult. The shape of my IO regal is more elongate in compare to the body shape of my Indo Pacific (IP). This is likely due to the IO is the male and IP is a female.
As you can see, whether RS/IO/IP, all are extremely graceful and exceptionally beautiful fish.

I think the actual color difference between Indian Ocean and Red Sea individuals is minute. Though I feel that the bars of Red Sea specimens are narrower which gives Red Sea Regals a more orange-yellow appearance.
With Indo-Pacific specimens the bars are even wider which gives Pacific Regals a different appearance. In combination with the blue-gray chest it gives them it gives them a more bluish appearance which comes out best under more actinic light.
Minh, is the first one the Philippines Regal you got from me? The one I kept is much more blue-gray in the head. Only his snout and ventral fins are yellow, and of course the yellow body base color.

ThRoewer,
Pictures 1 and 3 above are pictures of the same Regal Angel from Indo-Pacific two years apart, not one of the fish I got from you. That picture, numger 3, is abotu 1 year ago. She is a bit bigger and darker in coloration. I have not taken any picture of my Regals lately.
The second picture is a IO, Mardive, I got from LA and the last picture is the RS Regal I got from Alton.

Did you bind the metro into food or dose it into the water column?

that Alton is a nice guy:lmao:
A little story Minh lives 180 miles south of me so I drove 90 miles south and he drove 90 miles north to meet up and transfer the fish. Glad he is doing well.

I used focus to bind it with the metro but he wasn't eating flake/frozen then. I ended up just dosing the water hoping for the best. It seemed to work. No more strong, white waste, and his appetite has grown immensely.

I know that this is not a tang thread but here is the Chevron tang I got from Alton. He is a beauty.

This is the Philippines Regal I got from you. He is a beauty and is very fat at this time.

Nice to see that he is doing well. The one I kept is even more blue. Both of them were rescues and scary skinny at the time I got them. It took almost 6 months to get them back to an halfway normal weight where the skull edge wouldn't show anymore.

Sorry Too much going on this weekend, I wish I could make it
need some help.
i got a red sea regal 2 weeks ago.
it eats mysis shrimp and rod to begin with, but day 3 it start to eat less mysis and now it refuses to eat anything. it will go up to the food and look at it then turn away.
i tried Rod/Larry/mysis/PE mysis/Brine/bloodworm/pellets/krill/clam on half shell/green algae/nutramar ova.
no disease, i keep it in QT treat with CQ and will start praziquantel tomorrow.
the fish is active and aware of surrounding.
i will try flake and live green mussels tomorrow.
anyone experience that before? from eating to not eating.

So you haven't treated for flukes yet? Angels sometimes won't eat when they're sick and they are very prone to flukes. Is in qt now?
