I just added a new Regal Angel to my tank and my yellow and blue hippo tang have not taken to it very well right away. Should I be concerned that they were so aggressive right away or is this normal?

Did you see it eating in the store or did you get it from a fellow hobbyist ?

Move around some rock if you can, maybe help settle them down.

Does anyone have any anecdotal evidence regarding their survival. I was under the impression that the survival rate is zero, but that could be old information.

Bob, I'm sure i know of several of these fish that have been in tanks long term. I've never herad they were difficult. Then again, I've never heard they weren't.

Not for a moment doubting your vast knowledge , but I suppose that's why I was looking for evidence from people who have actually tried to keep these alive.
I have done some more research, and have found that this fish collected in the Philippines is 99.999% doomed to die within a couple of weeks. Those collected in Indonesia fare no better. There is more hope for Indian Ocean, and Red Sea specimens, but even those don't stand a good chance of LONG TERM survival.
I am expecting more from the baby (1.5") Three Spot Angel (Apolemichthys trimaculatus) I bought yesterday. At least he eats Mysis like a maniac.

Not sure I'd call it vast. I do know my full name and telephone #, in case I get lost!

Seriously, I'm gonna side with you on the angel thing, just because I've never actually looked into it. I also can't think of who I thought had this fish, so it's likely I'm mistaken.
