Quick Stats

Description

The Koran Angel (Pomacanthus semicirculatus) is a visually stunning marine fish that showcases a vibrant palette of blue, green, and yellow hues, making it a popular choice for aquarium enthusiasts. This species is predominantly found in the Indo-Pacific region, inhabiting coral reefs where it feeds on algae and detritus.

Koran Angels are known for their distinct appearance, with a rounded body and long, flowing fins. The juvenile phase features a striking pattern of blue and yellow stripes, which transforms into a more subdued coloration as they mature. This fish can grow to a maximum size of around 12 inches, necessitating a spacious aquarium of at least 100 gallons to accommodate its size and swimming needs.

As a semi-aggressive fish, the Koran Angel requires careful consideration when selecting tank mates. They can be territorial, especially during breeding periods, so it is advisable to house them with similarly sized or larger fish that can hold their own. While they are generally reef-compatible, caution is advised as they may nip at corals and other delicate invertebrates.

A well-balanced diet is essential for the Koran Angel’s health, consisting mainly of marine algae, spirulina, and high-quality pellets or flakes. Regular feeding and appropriate water conditions will help maintain their vibrant coloration and overall well-being.

With their impressive size and striking colors, Koran Angels not only add aesthetic appeal to a marine aquarium but also serve as fascinating and dynamic additions for experienced aquarists.
