Red Sea Regal

Red Sea regal
I want to add a red sea regal to my SPS tank. However I have a VERY expensive Joculator in my system he has been with me for 2 years now. Can I expect any problems? The Joculator is very established and the only angel in the system. I have the following in the system
Blue Hippo
Blue throat trigger
Mystry Wrasse
Romboy Wrasse
Yellow Tang
lineatus wrasse
And 2 or 3 other fairy wrasses.

Always a risk, but I don't think that it is a big one.

you shouldnt have much of a problem. for the most part regals are somewhat passive.

Regal are fairly shy fish, my only worry would be the yellow tang.

Best of luck if you try

Most people don't seem to have a problem with Regals bothering SPS. In fact, its mostly LPS corals angels go after though there are disastrous exceptions..

I've had my regal for over 1.5 years and she doesn't bother any SPS. If she doen't get enough to eat she will eat my corals. Fat & Happy is the key

I have tried close to a dozen dwarf angels, which have all nipped after a certain amount of time.
