Behavior
This species is semi-aggressive. It can be territorial and will defend its space against others. It is generally peaceful with other species if they are not similar in shape and color.

Incredibly beautiful fish, can be quite aggressive, I’d say one of the more aggressive large angelfish. Never touched coral but feed them very well in case.
