Description

Angelfish come in a large array of colors, patterns and sizes that make them very appealing to all levels of hobbyists. Singapore Angels are found in the Indo-West Pacific up to 20 meters deep. Adults can be found in small groups throughout shelf reefs. They have a body shape and black mask similar to butterfly fish. Their posterior coloration is black while the clack mask is bordered by white and yellow, with a yellow caudal fin and blue lips. Due to their increased needs, the Singapore Angel is considered difficult and are recommended to the more advanced hobbyist. Their natural diet is varied so aquarists should always feed a diet that is similarly well rounded. Singapore Angels generally feed on a wide variety of algae, sponges, soft corals, and other benthic organisms, which is why they are not recommended for reef aquariums. Be sure to provide a sufficient amount of live rock because the live rock will aide in hiding but will also act as a food source for grazing.
