Description

The Grey Angel (Pomacanthus arcuatus) is an attractive marine fish renowned for its elegant coloration and graceful swimming style. Its body features a beautiful grey hue with vibrant yellow accents, especially on the face and fins, making it a standout addition to any aquarium. This species is favored by both novice and experienced aquarists for its unique appearance and dynamic behavior.

Native to the coral reefs of the Caribbean, the Grey Angel thrives in environments that provide ample hiding spots and plenty of swimming space. While it is generally peaceful, it can exhibit semi-aggressive behavior, especially toward other angelfish or similarly shaped species. It’s best to introduce the Grey Angel to well-established tanks with plenty of territories to minimize territorial disputes.

As an herbivore, the Grey Angel’s diet mainly consists of algae, sponge, and other plant materials. In captivity, it should be offered a varied diet that includes high-quality marine flakes, algae sheets, and frozen foods. Providing a balanced diet is essential for maintaining its vibrant colors and overall health. With the right care and a spacious environment, the Grey Angel can flourish and enhance the beauty of your marine aquarium.
