Regal Angel (Regular)

About this fish

Regal Angel (Regular) is a marine angelfish offered for the home saltwater aquarium, identified as Pygoplites diacanthus. In practical terms, it’s a visually striking community of fish that benefits from a stable, well-established tank where it can graze and be fed a varied diet. Because angelfish often interact with sensitive reef invertebrates, this fish is best planned with compatibility in mind before ordering.

Features:

• Bold, patterned angelfish look their best once settled; patterns can change as they grow
• Typically suited to aquariums with live rock for natural grazing and foraging
• Offer a varied diet including quality frozen foods, sponge-based formulas, and algae several times daily
• With many angelfish, expect some picking behavior on corals and clam mantles—research before adding to a reef
• Generally keep only one angelfish per tank unless you have a very large, well-planned system
• Acclimate slowly and provide a quiet spot so the fish can settle in comfortably after arrival
