If you get a Regal from the Red Sea or Fiji,and it is eating before you buy it,and your water quality is good,they are good fish.Also smaller 3-4" Regals usually do better.
I have had this fish once. You need perfect water and fish co-inhabitants that won't pick on them. Feed them a varied diet including one of the frozen angel formulas with sponge as an ingredient. Starting with a healthy specimen is key, whatever ocean they are from.
