Holacanthus ciliaris

Angelfish come in a large array of colors, patterns and sizes that make them very sought-after. Unlike Centropyge angels, this genus is known for having large adult sizes. The Queen Angel is a beautiful fish that can be the centerpiece of your display, but they do require some specific care. This fish can be shy at first especially during acclimation, so providing a lot of hiding places will help reduce its stress. Because their natural diet is so varied, aquarists should always feed a diet that is similarly well rounded; it further means they are unsuitable for most "captive reef" style aquariums. In the wild, they generally feed on a wide variety of algae, sponges, tunicates and other benthic organisms. Their natural diet also includes nipping on corals, so the Queen Angel is not considered reef safe. They will grow to be about a foot, six inches in size and will need an aquarium of about 200 gallons when they are fully grown. Like many other Angelfish, these go through complete color morph from juveniles to adults. The Queen Angelfish are found in the Western Atlantic Ocean. They inhabit coral rich areas of reefs to 70 meters deep.
