Does anyone have a regal angelfish in a LPS dominate System? If so, does the regal nip or destroy the LPS? I know BRS put one in their tank but gave not heard any issue yet. I have quite the mixed reef and would love to get orange belly regal but a little afraid too.

Not much was safe other than Euphillia, the regal will devour blastos, acans, even lobos.

While I do not have the regal in a LPS dominated tank, I saw my regal going after the first zoa frag I put into the tank. He took quite a few nip at the zoas and ignore it after a day. I added more zoas the day after, he doesn’t seem to care. Same goes for an acan frag

My experience also! I like the fish better than the corals though so I kept the former and removed the latter. Regal does eat majano, so that's good.
