Description
The Threespot Angelfish is a vibrant yellow marine fish characterized by a blue mouth, a black spot on its forehead, and another black spot behind the operculum. This hardy angelfish is a striking addition to a large, established saltwater aquarium. It can be territorial, especially towards other angelfish.
