Well i got a red sea regal and he died in a week....i bought 3 fish at the same time, a blue face, a harliquin and the regal...he is the only one that died..and i feed garlic...i'd say stay away...mine seemed like he wanted to eat, and eat a piece of something a night, but they seem to be very passive eater...i read a post of some guy that feed his with a turkey baster...i'd say get another angel, you'll prob just loose money buying a regal

I've heard the same, I know I want an Angel someday and was pretty much set on getting an Imperator. Hubby says he likes the look of the Red Sea Regal Angel better and they don't get quite as big. If you do order one online, I would not get one without a guarantee since you can't see if it eats or at least looks healthy.

I got a small Red Sea Regal in early December. It was approximately 2.5 inches when I got it online. It is a hardy little guy! Eats frozen Angelfish preparations with sponge, loves Mysis shrimp and just abot any frozen food I put in there. He even nibbles on the Macro algae in the tank and on the live rock too.
Other people I know have purchased Red Sea specimens at the smaller size of 2.5-3.5 inch range and had 100 percent success rates. They need a good sized tank and lots of live rock with few caves.
Mine also eats out of my hand!

i just purchased a 6+ in. regal from a friend. so far all that i see it eat is spong. i have always kept orange, white and yellow sponge in my reef tank. when i feed my fish he always comes out to see what is going on, and is out most of the time. i have not seen him touch anything but sponge. i have only had him for a few days, and will let everyone know if and what and when he eats. he is from the red sea, and very plump. i am looking for some tunicats to try. i have a 6 in. magestic and a 5 in. annularis angels, and thay all get along fine, so far.

8-25-07: i got a reply from someone a few days ago. he recomended that i blanch some brocilli, i did as he said, and to my surprise, he started to eat it and so did the rest of my angels and tangs. my regal and majestic angels are the most passive fish i have. all doing well.
