Just showing off my misbarred Regal Angelfish who's growing nicely. It was like a half an inch when I got him from Biota. Has a yellow belly and some cool misbarring in near his head and toward the back. Probably close to 3 inches now.

I have a clam and plenty of corals that they're known to eat, and he doesn't touch them. I feel like the biggest factor that helps keep the corals safe is that I use an Avast auto feeder that feeds small amounts every 90 minutes. There's almost always food in the water for him to eat. Being captive bred may help a bit, and also luck.

How does he do with nipping at coral in your tank?

I have always wanted one of those fish in my tank!
