Description
The Arabian Angelfish is a large, striking marine angelfish characterized by its deep blue to black body, a prominent yellow vertical bar, and a bright yellow caudal fin. It is a hardy species that requires a spacious aquarium with plenty of rockwork for hiding and grazing. This species can be territorial, especially towards other angelfish.
