I’ve always liked pushing the limits with my reef a little.

A few years ago I kept a juvenile Emperor Angelfish in my reef for almost two years. Watching him transition into adult colors was amazing and he almost felt like a pet… until one day he decided my corals tasted pretty good 😅

Now I’m tempted again.

I’ve been thinking about trying a captive bred Regal Angelfish. From what I’ve read they adapt better to prepared foods and sometimes behave better in reefs.

For those who have tried it:

Would you risk a captive bred Regal in a reef tank?

Or is it just a matter of time before it starts sampling corals?

Would love to hear your experiences before I give in to the temptation.
