What is everyone's thought on this fish in a reef. I'm always hesitant to add a abella to a reef and I've read mixed reviews of this one.

I'be had different specimens eat different corals. Most sps seems to be ok.
Corals I've had eaten by a regal include: zoas,xenia, gsp, dendros, chalices, acans, wellsos, duncans, aconthophyllia
Depends on seller... I’ve bought Red Sea for $125-150If it's only $125 it's probably the indo-pacific type

LFSs in Bronx NY... one even offers free delivery!Where are you finding red seas for $125-150?
They want to sell fish! Other Red Sea fish come in with the same shipment!Most likely that is something they are calling a red sea. If it's a real redsea they are ripping them self off.
This is a Bluechest Regal from Indo-Pacific. These are sold for (much) cheaper. IMO, they are just as beautiful. The have more blue and black with less yellow. Darker fish than Indian Ocean or Red Sea Regal angel.My indo hasn’t eaten anything yet, but nipped the Goni once. I’d say 125 is quite high. I got mine for $60
I've found that in the last couple years the Indo-Pacific ones have been doing better. I don't know if capture methods have changed or if its for some other reason, but it has improved.Indo pacific grey chest are know for being caught with chems, dieing a few weeks/months after you get them, and never adjusting or eating in aquariums. Red sea and Maldives are the ones you want. Has nothing to do with looks, has to do with it's chances of staying alive long term.
