My tank has bubbletip anemone, hammer and candycane. Can I add Regal angelfish? I know each fish is different

thanks
 
I wouldn’t, I don’t trust angelfish in general, including the Regal around lps. If you had an sps dominant reef you might be okay, but if you’re doing lps, clams, or softies, it’s not a safe bet. Regals are also notoriously difficult, unless you’ve got a lot of experience keeping angels (and I’m guessing from the question you don’t), I’d try a different species (or forego angels altogether if you want to keep lps, softies, or clams).
Edit: you also need a massive aquarium, a lot of sites recommend at least 125g, but I would put the minimum at 180g.
 
I have Regal, he is awesome. Also a coral beauty and a hybrid angle. None of them pick at any coral from zoa to torches, but they are also well fed.

They’re more likely to pick at more fleshy types of lps (like trachys, acans, favias, clams, etc.) And its not a definite thing, its just that they’re known to do it, and so if you have a lot of lps, its a risk you have to weigh. Also, OP (I think) has a Red Sea Reefer 350, which is not large enough to keep a Regal.
