I was looking at my tank this morning and asked myself, "which fish can I not do without in my tank?" My answer was my Regal Angel. I know it limits what other inhabitants I can keep in the tank but it is just a beatiful fish. So I ask you, what is your most prized fish?

My majestic angel. I love all the angels, and this is one of my favorites. Any pics of your regal? Many consider these to be a very challenging fish, do you mind describing your tank and what you feed it?
The other fish my tank couldn't do w/o is my Helfrichi's firefish.

Yes, I have heard and read about how hard the Blue-bellied Regal is to keep. I bought mine about a year and a half ago for $40. It was about 3" when I bought it. Now it is about 4". It is housed in a 105 with a African Flameback Angel, live rock, feather dusters, shimps, and assorted mushrooms.
Up until yesterday, Saturday, it was also housed with a Blonde Naso Tang and a Desjardinii Tang. I took the two tangs to the LFS since they had gotten bigger than I felt comfortable with. The tangs had started to look alittle cramped in my 105. Now they are in a better home in a 250 gallon tank.
I feed all my fish Frozen San Francisco Bay Brand mysis shrimp, plankton, and Marine Cuisine. I also feed O.S.I. Spirulina flake, and Ocean Nutrition Formula Two flakes. I also provide them with Seaweed Selects Dried Nori Algea sheets. I normally feed flake in the morning and frozen food at night. I rotate flakes and frozens so they are not getting the same meal everyday.

All time or current?
All time would be a golden guinea fowl puffer I had a few years ago. Unfortunately he died when I had a RIO explode and polllute & electrocute the tank.
Current would have to be my tonga coral beauty. I got lucky and got one with absolutely stunning coloration.

Garry,
How does your boxfish behave in your reef? Does the strong current bother him? Have any pictures?
