Description
The Zebra Angelfish is a striking marine fish known for its distinctive black and white vertical stripes and a yellow dorsal fin. Unlike many other angelfish, it is generally considered reef-safe and more peaceful, making it a popular choice for community reef aquariums. This planktivore thrives in a well-established tank with ample swimming space and live rock.
