At 7 inches, this Queen Angelfish is a striking, well-grown specimen with the species’ deep, laterally compressed body and vivid blue-and-yellow coloration. Look for the blue-edged scales, bright yellow tail, and distinctive crown-like marking on the forehead that gives the species its name. Its bold presence and semi-aggressive temperament make it best suited to a spacious marine aquarium with compatible tankmates. Queen Angelfish may nip at corals and other invertebrates, so they are not considered reef compatible. This species grows substantially with age; plan for its mature size and provide ample swimming space.
