Overview
While somewhat shy, this angel is one of the easier angelfish to keep. It requires a tank of 180 gallons or more with multiple hiding places and live rock for grazing. The Blue Girdled Angelfish is not a good reef dweller, being prone to nip at stony and soft corals (sessile invertebrates) and clam mantles. It generally will not harm small-polyped stony corals and somewhat noxious soft corals.
The diet of the Blue Girdled Angelfish should include vegetable matter such as Spirulina and marine algae, meaty items such as mysis shrimp, and high-quality angelfish preparations containing sponges.

Customer Testimonials
This marvelous angelfish is the perfect accent to any marine environment. The magnificent color and grace of the Blue Girdled Angelfish brings out the beauty of any tank it inhabits. When you first acclimate this fish, it will spend the first couple days hiding. He will come out from time to time in the first week and dash back to his hiding spot when he feels threatened. Once your fish is acclimated, he will expose himself to you fear-free. These fish are not extremely aggressive, but they will let other fish know it is there. Food for them should include Spirulina and angel formula, which includes sponges. This amazing fish is a great species for any tank.
