Pomacanthus imperator

Reef Safe with Caution

The Emperor Angelfish, with its majestic appearance and vibrant colors, is one of the most iconic and sought-after marine fish in the aquarium hobby. Adorned with striking patterns of blue, yellow, and black, this species adds a regal touch to any reef setup. While generally considered reef safe with caution, it may occasionally nip at certain corals, particularly soft corals and clam mantles. Providing a varied diet rich in algae and supplemented with high-quality marine foods can help meet its nutritional needs and minimize any potential aggression towards corals. With its dignified demeanor and captivating beauty, the Emperor Angelfish is a prized addition for aquarists seeking an eye-catching centerpiece fish for their reef aquarium.
