Whoops! Not a yellow belly regal...

Now the question to ask is the fish really eating? Is it really conditioned? Or is it just a dropshipped regal that is available much cheaper from other sources? It is growing harder to trust DD when they were notified on Wednesday of the error and they wait through the weekend to fix the issue.
 
Yellow chest and Blue chest started out the same, but the darker coloration of the yellow chested Regal stop while the blue chest have more blue. In the Pacific the blue coloration of these angels continue to developed resulting in wider blue bars and blue chest result in a darker looking fish in the Pacific and lighter more yellow fish in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean variety.
Blue Chest over 2 years period. The orders of the pictures kinda messed up but you can see this same fish from baby to larger, not full grow by any measure but larger.

as you can see in the two pictures below, these two angels is about the same size and the Yellow bars in the Red Sea Variety is quite a bid wider given the fish a lighter brighter coloration. The Pacific Regal Picture is not optimal coloration for the fish, but in person, the Pacific Regal looks just as attractive, but definitely different in coloration.

OK seems how we are about Regals here looks like most of you have no problems with them ans LPS?
I would like to get a feel on how risky they are with them.

what did they eat if anything at all?
 
Once establish they eat everything. They like flakes and pellets than frozen. They pick at the rocks but leaves my LPS and clams along. Orcasionally they seem to peck at SPS but no damage. My SPS grow fine but does not have PE during the day. Not all due to the Regal. I also have Flame Angels that do the same.

hmmm I am so tempted to try one in the new tank a long with wrasses and 2 small tangs I think that would be the perfect combo.
