Biota Tank Raised Asfur Angel

The asfur angel is a stunning and uncommon import from the Red Sea. It is sometimes called the Arabian angelfish. Its impressive coloration is a high contrast between a dark black/blue body with an intense yellow band vertically across the mid body and a bright yellow tail. It may be confused with the maculosos angel, however the asfur angel's yellow tail is much brighter. Males and females are visually identical.

The asfur angel can grow to be approximately 16 Inches long and needs a large aquarium as an adult, we recommend at least 250 gallons. It does not appreciate living with other large angelfish and may become aggressive to them, however it is typically non-aggressive with other types of fish.

Angelfish may nip on many types of corals, especially LPS corals, clam mantles, sponges, and sometimes soft corals. They do not typically bother SPS corals or other types of invertebrates. They feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming. Diet should include plenty of marine algae and Spirulina, Sponge matter, frozen mysis shrimp, half shell clams, and other high quality meaty items. It is preferable to feed more than once a day.
