Its elegant form and vivid coloration make it a showpiece in large aquariums. Though shy at first, this angelfish becomes more confident over time, adding a touch of tropical brilliance and movement to any display.

Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific region, from East Africa and the Maldives to Fiji and the Great Barrier Reef

Flagfin Angelfish are omnivores that feed on sponges, tunicates, and algae in the wild. In captivity, they should be offered a varied diet including sponge-based angelfish formulas, marine algae, mysis shrimp, and other meaty foods. They are generally not considered reef safe, as they may nip at corals and sessile invertebrates.
