Description
The Herald's Angelfish is a striking, entirely yellow dwarf angelfish native to the Western Pacific. It is a hardy and active species that thrives in a well-established marine aquarium with ample live rock for grazing and hiding. While generally peaceful with dissimilar fish, it can be territorial towards other dwarf angelfish.
