Why We Like It:
A true icon of the reef, the Regal Angelfish is instantly recognisable with its striking blue and yellow bars and elegant shape. Known for being delicate during acclimation, it thrives best in mature, stable tanks with minimal aggression. While not entirely reef safe, many individuals can be kept successfully in coral tanks with care. A showstopper species for experienced aquarists seeking beauty and prestige.
