anything will help. thanks!

Unlike all the other tangs the regal is a meat eater. If you have been feeding her pretty much only algae it is normal that she will go for something else.
Because she has just started to take a liking to your zoas overfeed her ((often) mysis and some meaty quality pellets to see if she weans off the zoas
