Description
The Coral Beauty Angelfish is a striking and hardy species, renowned for its brilliant blue and orange coloration. Its body is adorned with a deep blue and purple hue around the edges, while the center of the body features vertical orange stripes. This fish is a popular choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists due to its ease of care and semi-aggressive nature.
Native to the coral-rich reefs of the Indo-Pacific, the Coral Beauty thrives in aquariums with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. While it can be housed in reef tanks, caution is advised, as it may occasionally nip at soft corals and invertebrates. A balanced diet of marine algae, spirulina, and meaty foods will keep it healthy and enhance its vibrant colors.
Reaching up to 4 inches in size, the Coral Beauty Angelfish is suitable for tanks of at least 55 gallons. Its semi-aggressive temperament means it can be housed with a variety of tank mates but should not be placed with overly passive species. This hardy fish makes a stunning addition to any marine setup, bringing color and activity to the aquarium.
