Indian ocean regal angelfish

[Phycodurus]

I have both, and the Blue chest are doing just as well for me as the Yellow chest also.

They are in separate tanks?

They were together in my 320 gal tank.

I bought my juvi’s from liveaquaria for around $150 each and they are doing pretty well so far. I’d been four months or so now and they nip on my sticks every once in a while. But I wouldn’t put them in my LPS tank with all the candy canes and chalice.

I got this regal around 1" in size.
Actually I got 2 regals, both are 1" juveniles.
First one started nipping at my corals around 2" in size.
I sold it and got this one.
This one also nip at my corals when he is about 3" big.
I just give up, keeping the fish.
And got more angelfish and butterflyfishes.
My tank only have mushrooms right now that survived.

Does anyone have experience with the pattern changes of regal angel growing up?
Mine started with the same pattern on both sides.
Later changed on one side with a bit of misbar.
He is now 4.5", have been in the tank 2 years, I assume he is 2.5 years old.
Will the pattern keep changing?
When does it stop changing?
When is the age they are considered as adult?

When the eyespot is gone it's an adult.
