This fish is from my LFS.
The guy sent me 2 regal tangs instead of 2 regal angels. I was so P'd off!!!!!!! I called immediately and told him what he did wrong. He said he never put 2 and 2 together when I was talking to him about regal angels. I kept asking him if they were yellow belly or blue belly. He kept telling me blue belly. I asked where they came from and he said X-Mas island. I said really? He said the blue in them are more vibrant then others. I thought OK, I don't know everywhere they collect Regal angels. So, I made the deal.
Once my daughter seen them, during acclimation, I told her they had to go back and she started crying because our Dory wouldn't have no one to play with if I sent the 2 "babies" back. Needless to say, I didn't want to spend 70-80 bucks for shipping them back and Sat delivery charge, I kept them. I'll have to get them out later onc ethey fatten up a bit. I told the guy I didn't want to spend the money sending them back, so if he would PayPal me the price of one fish, I would be cool and we made a deal.
So, I'll be fishing soon to get them out and to the LFS or friends with bid tanks.

i bought my goldflake angel from justrarefish.com...the packaging wasn't the best, but a year later and I still have the fish...it gets along with my regal and they both look great.

I ordered my Red Sea Regal from www.phishybusiness.com
Had "her" (assumption based on length of gill plate spines) for almost a year, (Sept will be a year).
Zero issues ordering from them. I would highly reccomend ordering difficult to find, delicate fish from them.
For frame of reference, I have also ordered from Vivid, LiveAquaria, and other places on the net...
Having said all that, I think if you can find one thats eating and looking healthy at a LFS, thats preferable. Seeing the fish in person is definately a better bet IMO.
Big boy, what is your new Regal eating?

pito! i actually got some cured rocks in my 93 gallons already! lol so i already got a pair of clowns, a long nose hawk fish, a mystery wrasse and a watanabe angel (female) in the cube!
so far so good
all eating like pigs. the only reason why the pair are still in the cube is because one has a cloudy eye, and is not eating pallets but seaweed only. so i want to wait until the cloudy eye goes away first (the other one is eating pallets like crazy). Oh, and im running a uv in the 30g cube. i'm actually in the states now,so i'll see how things are when i get back.

Mine was greedily eating mysis and other meaty foods, but after about 5 months was slowly starving from malnutrition. I offered nori, angel formula, pellets, etc...no go. A friend on the net suggested blanched/heat wilted broccoli....she went completely nuts for it, and regained body mass. Just something to think about.

Big Boy69 - do you know what the gill spines are? I didn't know at first but it's the little blue spine on the side of their gills. From what I have been told females have very short spines.
