Description
A striking, deep-bodied angelfish with a dark blue-grey body edged in pale blue, a bright orange-yellow face and gill cover ringed by an electric blue eye mask, and a yellow tail. Semi-aggressive and territorial toward similarly shaped angelfish, it is best kept as the only angel in a large, mature aquarium with abundant live rock, caves and overhangs plus open swimming room. It is a shy, high-value species that requires pristine, stable water and frequent feeding; captive-bred individuals adapt far better than wild-caught fish, which often fail to thrive.

Behavior
