Regal Angels and Reefs

[Breakthecycle2]

What's everyone's experience with Regal's on reefs?

It may depend on the type of reef you're keeping. In my experience they love zoas!

I have a mixed reef.

I was fortunate with mine, he didn't do anything but nip.

I had one with acans and Zoas. He was ok with acans. Loved to eat Zoas though

Chalices, dendros, fleshy brains, and zoas were all on the diet of the ones I've seen in reefs.

Old thread, but I thought I'd add my experience in case someone is doing research. I have a juvenile regal in a mixed reef for a little over two months. My SPS have been fine with nothing more than an occasional nip here or there. Certain LPS were picked on more heavily, so I removed my trumpet corals, acans, and trachyphillias very early to discourage the regal angel from getting in a bad habit and dining on my reef! My other LPS such as Duncans and torch corals are never even touched. Also, my zoas have been completely untouched (for now)
