Description
The Rusty Angel is a striking marine fish, known for its vibrant orange body adorned with black, rust-colored spots, and hints of blue along its fins. This fish is ideal for intermediate aquarists due to its hardy nature and semi-aggressive temperament. While it is generally peaceful, it may show territorial behavior, especially in smaller tanks or with other angelfish. The Rusty Angel is omnivorous and enjoys a varied diet of spirulina, marine algae, and meaty foods. It can be kept in a reef aquarium with caution, as it may nip at corals, particularly softer varieties. This beautiful angelfish adds a rich burst of color to any aquarium setup.
