Description
The Rusty Angelfish is a beautiful saltwater fish that is named for its unique rust-colored body. It is a popular choice for home aquariums due to its vibrant color and interesting personality. This fish is native to the Pacific Ocean and is found in a variety of habitats, from coral reefs to rocky coastlines.
Reef Safe
The Rusty Angelfish is considered reef safe with caution. While they generally do not bother corals, they may nip at soft or stony polyp corals, clam mantles, and large-polyped stony corals.
Environment
These fish prefer a well-lit tank with plenty of hiding spots. The tank should also have plenty of live rock for grazing.
Behavior
Rusty Angelfish are semi-aggressive and may become territorial in smaller aquariums. They are generally peaceful when housed with other species, but may become aggressive with their own kind.
