Description
The Blue Face Angel is a truly mesmerizing species, recognized for its bright blue face adorned with intricate patterns. Its body is covered in a dazzling array of small blue and yellow scales, highlighted by a bold yellow tail. This medium to large angelfish brings vibrant colors and elegance to any marine aquarium.
Native to the Indo-Pacific, the Blue Face Angel thrives in well-established aquariums with live rock for grazing and shelter. It can be housed in a reef tank with caution, but it may nip at soft corals and clams. A balanced diet of marine algae, spirulina, and meaty foods such as mysis shrimp will help maintain its vibrant colors and overall health.
With a maximum size of 15 inches, this angelfish requires a large aquarium of at least 180 gallons. Its semi-aggressive temperament means it should be housed with similarly sized tank mates. When cared for properly, the Blue Face Angel can become a stunning centerpiece in any large saltwater aquarium.
