Description

The Vermiculated angelfish is a small to medium marine angelfish with a striking maze-like vermiculated pattern over a pale body. It is an attractive but delicate species that does best in mature aquariums with abundant rockwork and stable water quality.

Reef Safe

No

Environment

Requires a well-established saltwater aquarium with stable parameters, excellent filtration, moderate water movement, plenty of live rock for grazing and shelter, and hiding places. Best kept in tropical temperatures around 72-78 F with normal marine salinity.

Behavior

Generally spends much of its time weaving through rockwork and grazing. It may be shy at first but can become territorial toward similar angelfish as it settles in.
