Genus
Common name: Angelfish
Scientific name: Pomacanthus
Pomacanthus is a genus of large angelfish highly regarded in the reefkeeping hobby for their striking coloration and patterns. These fish are generally not reef safe as they tend to nip at soft and stony corals, as well as clams. They require large aquariums with plenty of swimming space and rockwork for hiding. A varied diet including marine algae, meaty foods, and angelfish preparations will help maintain their health and vibrant colors. They can be territorial, so careful consideration is needed when adding to a community tank.
