Red Sea Regal Angel

Fast Facts

This is one of the most spectacular of all reef fishes, sporting alternating yellow and white bars with dark borders, a yellow tail and pelvic fins and a yellow "chest." Despite it being a difficult fish, it is one of the most popular angels, and usually a safe bet in reef aquariums. The Regal Angelfish is a difficult species regardless of origin, although Red Sea specimens have a reputation for being among the best available. Specimens from the Pacific have a bluish chest; while those from the Red Sea have a yellow chest, otherwise they look identical. Generally regarded as reef safe, most of those we sell go into reefs. Attempt this fish only in an aquarium containing live rock. In a bare "fish tank" with nothing to graze on, regal angels seldom adapt, but in reefs or with live rock they generally fare notably better. Keep only with other peaceful fishes and do not house with bold species of angels. This fish will not adapt if it perceives any threats from tankmates.
