Description
The Semicircle Angelfish is a large and beautiful marine fish known for its dramatic color transformation from juvenile to adult. Juveniles display a dark blue body with white semicircular bands, while adults develop a greenish-brown body covered in numerous small blue spots and vibrant blue fin margins. This species requires a very large, well-established aquarium due to its size and potential for aggression.
