I agree on what u said about Gem Tang. However, the regals from India Ocean also have yellow belly. AO probably had Indian Ocean.

The red sea has an inlet to the india ocean so I will agree to this statement on the regals.
And sonny your regal in your avatar is SWEET......
LOL - Thanks Jim.
Sunny Is your regal eating everything(pellet,frozen,etc)? Mine was eating nori but now is not eating anything that I can tell. Maybe the tangs bullied him. Think tomorrow im going to try to get him out. And put him in my qt.

If it was only eating nori theres a good chance it has an intesinal blockage,is its stomach or breast plate swollen or enlarged?Is it twiching or gasping?
Did not look swollen. And I did not notice it gasping. Tomorrow I am getting him out to see if I can get him to eat something else. If it is a blockage how would I solve that?

If its not swollen then its not a blockage,if you can qt it watch it for a couple days,it could be a worm problem as well.
Wild caught clownfish often have the same problem,prazi will take care of this.

Looks like he is not going to make it. Maybe it was a blockage. He was eating nori but nothing else. Maybe that caused it.

Im sorry to read this but I dont know of anything to help a blockage in a fish.About the only other thing I can think of to try is to microwave fresh broccoli for a minute or two and soak it in selcon or something along that line it may help to move things along if it is a blockage.
I know they love to graze and all but nori should never be a daily food in my opinion.

I read that cooked peas can act as a laxative in fish. You need to remove the outer skin of the pea and just use the soft inside. Never tried it, and not sure how well fish like peas but might be worth a shot.
+1 I tried this and the fish loved it. My gold flake unfortunately never recovered. Swelled up like a porcupine....pretty sure it was dropsy.

LOL all my prize coral is in my frag tank where I can baby them, but I agree probably the only thing holding me back from taking a shot at it. I had to get rid of an amazing Regal a few years back as he developed a large appetite for corals.
