First vote! Regal!

 

[i cant think]

Now you’ve done it… the hardest vote you can do.

I guess it’ll come down to the one I own again.

 

[albano]

I’ve got both, but Regal has been on my ‘must have’ list for 50 years!!!!

It had to happen at some point!

I think both are beautiful. But, regal has my vote. I even let mine munch on corals I don't intend to rehome.
Looks amazing in all lighting

How the hell can you look past that majestic. It's even in the bloody name.

Easy, I think it's ugly. Seen them in person. Still an ugly bugger. My opinion though.

Ohh ohh, fantastic!

Majestic Holy Grail of Holy Grail torch..... I'll just tap that name on a random green torch.

Ouch, this decision hurts but I’m going with the majestic.

Now thats a tough one but I had to vote for Majestic. I do have both in my tank. I have had the Regal for a couple years now and the newness probably wore off. It was transferred from my 210. The Majestic has been with me a little over a month I think. Both beautiful fish!

It’s so interesting to see everyone’s differing opinions!

Just joking about my above posts. Angelfish are just beautiful in general. Some of the best colorations in the ocean we can keep in our home aquaria.

I have both. I go Regal just because they are more difficult fish to keep.
This should be for the champion instead of this round.

Absolutely! I want to get another regal purely because they have a certain way of attracting you into a reef tank. I’m not sure how as I’ve found it with all angels but the regal seems to have a specific way of attracting people to look at the tank.

Mine was hugely personable and would spit water when she was hungry.

Sigh…. Now I want a regal angel.

I love the personality of mine. I go to watch her, she hides. I go to sit down 3 ft away, shevdrifts at the front of the glass watching me. Feeding time is such a comedy show!
Day or night, stunning colors

Yuh... a few people made me jealous and that night, lfs got a baby regal in. Mine now!

How bad of a nipper is your baby angel? That’s my main concern. I have five angels, the PE on my acros is not great anymore. I can deal with that. Don’t want them to destroy Coral though.

She only likes acans, blastomussa, trachyphyllia.
I have one twig left of an acro. Lots of monti and she don't care about those.

I have intended snacks of a lobo and trumpet coral for her.
My anti regal corner for rehoming to a friend. The typical loved angelfish menu items.

My first world problem of the day: to choose between the pretty fish or the pretty Coral. My life is super tough.

Sounds like a conundrum.
So let me help. A healthy regal might be hard to find. Getting one to eat may or may not happen. I'm not sure if their mortality rate is the same as copperbanded butterfly fish.

So, there is the added stress of getting them to eat in captivity. Best to pass. Pretty coral are a much safer bet.
