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.

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?

Have a new tank coming in soon.

Got a Waterbox 330.7 and putting together a potential fish list. I know I have a tendency to be aggressive about what I put in my tanks.

Wanting any feedback from personal experiences! Thank you in advance!
