Description
The Fisher's Angelfish is a small, deep-bodied marine angelfish known for its dark blue to purplish body, often with bright blue margins on its dorsal and anal fins, and a yellowish caudal fin. It is a shy but territorial species, popular in reef aquariums for its vibrant colors and relatively small size. While generally considered reef-safe, individual specimens may nip at certain corals.
