Fast Facts

This beautiful fish is yellow overall, with black and white on the anal fin and blue "lips." This species can be one of the more challenging angels in the home aquarium, but it's not as difficult than the top selling Red Sea Regal Angel. This fish is best attempted only in an aquarium containing live rock. In a bare "fish tank" with nothing to graze on, this fish will have a tough time adapting, but in reefs or with live rock they generally fare notably better. Typically quite shy when first introduced into the aquarium, they should be provided plenty of hiding places, ideally consisting of rockwork with lots of caves. Keep only with other peaceful fishes and do not house with bold species of angels.
