The Royal Angelfish or Royal Empress Angel, features a beautiful display of colors and stripes. Its body is a mosaic of orange, silver and blue with a bright yellow tail.
It is recommended to add them to well-established tanks, preferably an aquarium that has been setup up for at least 6 months and should be housed in a tank of at least 100 gallons with plenty of live rock and herbivorous matter.
Like the other dwarf angels you'll want to keep only one royal angelfish per tank because they will fight with other dwarf angelfish. As well, caution must be taken, as the Royal Angelfish can nip at corals and small sessile inverts so, they should be closely monitored if introduced into a reef tank.
The Royal Angelfish will feed on a mixed diet of vegetation and small crustaceans including brine and mysis shrimp. Overall, the Royal Angelfish is one of the most sought-after angelfish species due to its unique coloration.
