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.

Pair of clownfish in 15 gallon cube tank, what other fishes can I add ? Any coral placement suggestions?
Got me a Foxface in today. I shop all my fish at Trinh Fish and Corals. It’s where I got my XL Blue hippo tang from also that is 6 inches. All fish are healthy and do not use any water from the bag of you have corals cause they do contain copper where they make sure the fish are clean before shipping to you
Another question. I’ve got a Kleins butterfly fish. I’ve heard mixed reviews on coral nipping with these guys. I figured I’d do sps corals and he wouldn’t bother them much, but just read a story about a Klein skipping over softies specifically for the sps, which I found bizarre.. I don’t have any coral yet but was wanting to start that up soon. Is it worth the risk, or should I rehome him and try another fish?
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.
