Thanks for the input. I dont like to generalize about fish behavior....each fish is truely an individual. My regal is a shite...he initiates almost all new comers to the tank and at 5" he would put a thrashing on a 2 1/2-3" naso, if so inclined. Or it could be that the naso is small enough not to be seen as threat. He is also one of the rare and elusive coral eating regals. He loves his LPS I also personally witnessed my two "reef safe" male fairy wrasses(lineatus and hooded) hunt down and kill a peppermint shrimp Its hard to say for sure what may or may not happen.
