I want to buy a Regal Angel for my SPS tank as this would be my last fish. So i'm at my LFS and i see one that looks okay but the tail is torn to shreds. I mean chunks are missing from it. I asked the guy if he was getting any more in any time soon. He said no but offered me a deal if i bought the Regal angel ($30.00). I told him i'm not about to buy a fish that looks like its diseased. He told me it had a disease/parasite and the claener wrasse actually ate through the tail to rid the angel of the parasite. Is this B.S. or possible? I really like the fish but don't want risk a break out in my tank. The guy told me he wants to hold it for a few more days just to be safe. He said all it needs is some TLC. Is he trying to make a sale or is this a safe move?
