Description

A large angelfish with a golden-yellow body speckled with blue, a broad iridescent blue-edged 'girdle' wrapping the head and chest, and a navy bar at the tail base; juveniles are dark with narrow blue and white bars. Semi-aggressive toward other angels and similarly shaped fish, it needs a mature 180-gallon-plus tank with heavy rockwork, caves, and open swimming lanes. A natural sponge and tunicate feeder, it requires a sponge-based angelfish preparation plus mysis and nori, and it will often nip clams, zoanthids, and LPS in a reef.
