They are very nice fish.

Regal Angel fish Pygoplites diacanthus

717regal.jpg

Reef Compatibility: Reef safe, with caution. May pick on corals, feather Dusters, and clam mantles, but has been kept with high success in reef type aquaria.

Maximum Size: The Pygoplites diacanthus grows up to 10 inches.

Sizes shipped: Sml 2-3 Inches, Med. 3.5-4 Inches, Lrg. 5-6.5 Inches.

Minimum Tank Size: The Regal Angel prefers a tank of at least 75 gallons with plenty of places to hide & swim.

Diet: The Pygoplites diacanthus is an omnivore and likes to feed on marine algae, mysid shrimp, Spirulina, Sponges and other fresh or frozen seafoods. The diet of all larger angels consists heavily of sponge material, so it is recommended to feed "Angel Formula" by: Ocean Nutition, which has a very high sponge percentage mixed in the food

Level of care: The Pygoplites diacanthus is a high maintenance fish.

Compatibility Notes: Generally peaceful towards other tank mates, but may act aggressively towards other Angels.

Water Conditions: Keep water quality high (SG 1.020 - 1.025, pH 8.1 - 8.4, Temp. 72 - 78° F).

Range: The Regal Angel, Red Sea is commonly collected from the Red Sea, Maldives, the Indian Ocean.

General Notes: The Regal Angel is a very attractive species that is high in demand, and does well in a fish only tank or a reef type aquarium, with other community type fish i.e. Butterflies, Tangs, Wrasse etc.. Differences between the two sub-species of Regal Angels, is the Red Sea variey is brighter in coloration, along with the breat of the Red Sea variety being yellowish gold as well. The Indo-Pacific variety lacks the yellowish gold breast. It has also been noted that the Red Sea variety, does better in captivity as well.

This species is very difficult to keep and should only be attempted by expert aquarists

TM - Saddle back Clowns usually have a saddle on their back, hence the commin name of them being 'Saddle Back Clowns'. I don't belive the Pics from Reef meet that description, photo provided.

What is "polymus (sp)"??

The pictures look almost identical to mine, which I belive are Black Percula or Ocellerous (sp?) clowns.
