Regal tangs typically don't do well in CP. There are some people who have got them through it, but not enough for me to use CP on one. I had a regal about the same size I treated in copper, it was the fish that caused my ich and velvet outbreak and wiped out the whole tank. Regal stopped eating, lived over a month like that, tried live black worms, live brine, every kind of nori I had, and anything else I could and just refused to eat and didn't make it. Hopefully yours starts eating again soon.
I had read that too and planned on pulling him from the beginning if he did not do well. The regal tang had been hiding (away from the light in the display) and I figured that was due to the velvet. He hides out now 24/7 and acts like I'm going to eat him if I get close to the tank to check on him. I've tried all of the favorite foods and leave a nori clip in there as well. I thought that taking him out of the CP would restore his appetite but it has not. His eyes also look very strange, almost look dead even though his color is fine and he still has some weight on him. I'm wondering if something has blinded him?
