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.

Citrus goby is being a picky eater
Only eating live brine shrimp. Though picture doesn’t show, he seem very skinny and all bones while I couldn’t feed him live food while I was on vacation. I have tried hikari gumbo, frozen brine, garlic infused pellet, flake fish food without success. Any recommendation on what else I can do?

Leopard Wrasse
This genus is notoriously difficult to transition to captivity. They can be difficult to transition to prepared foods, and they require a sandbed as they bury themselves at night.

Lenny… keeps wanting to make himself into a TSB Smoothie.😑🤣
Thankfully he’s smart enough not to attempt this when they’re running. He does this every feeding when they’re shut off. Going to have to get some netting or something incase he gets really daring!
What do you guys like to feed your lion fish?
Hi this is my first tank ever and it’s been going well. I just got my first baby clown fish and i’m asking for knowledge and helpful tips on raising them. they’re on pellets and flake food at the moment and doing fine! they have unusual behavior and im worried they’re exhausting themselves against the current so i turned my wave maker off.
