Description
The Flag Fin Angel is a beautiful angelfish known for its vibrant yellow body, adorned with a small black spot near the dorsal fin. Its mouth has a light blue tint, which contrasts nicely against its overall yellow appearance. This fish adds a bright and lively presence to any marine aquarium, making it a popular choice for experienced hobbyists.
Native to the Indo-Pacific, the Flag Fin Angel thrives in aquariums with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. While it can coexist in reef aquariums, caution is advised as it may occasionally nip at soft corals and invertebrates. A diet rich in marine algae, spirulina, and meaty foods is essential for maintaining its health and color vibrancy.
Growing up to 10 inches in length, the Flag Fin Angel requires a tank size of at least 125 gallons. Due to its semi-aggressive temperament, it is best housed with similarly sized tank mates to avoid conflicts. With proper care and attention, the Flag Fin Angel can become a striking centerpiece in any large marine aquarium.
