Angels, Large

Large Angels, also known as Angelfish, are a stunning and diverse group of marine fish that are popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their striking colors and patterns. These fish belong to the family Pomacanthidae and are known for their laterally compressed bodies and elongated dorsal and anal fins. Some of the most well-known species include the Pomacanthus imperator, Holacanthus ciliaris, and Pomacanthus xanthometopon.

Large Angels are typically found in tropical and subtropical waters, often around coral reefs where they can find plenty of hiding spots and food sources. In the wild, their diet consists of sponges, tunicates, algae, and small invertebrates. In captivity, they require a varied diet that includes high-quality marine pellets, frozen foods, and fresh seaweed to ensure they receive all necessary nutrients.

These fish can grow quite large, often reaching sizes of 25-40 cm (10-15 inches) or more, so they require spacious aquariums with plenty of swimming space. A minimum tank size of 600 liter (160 gallons) is recommended for most large angelfish species. Additionally, they can be territorial and may not get along with other angelfish or similarly shaped fish, so careful consideration must be given to tank mates.

Large Angels are generally not considered reef-safe as they may nip at or eat corals and invertebrates. However, some hobbyists have had success keeping them in reef tanks with caution and close monitoring. It's important to provide plenty of hiding places and a well-established environment to help reduce stress and aggression.

Overall, Large Angels are a rewarding and visually impressive addition to any large marine aquarium, but they do require specific care and attention to thrive.
