One of the few mid-sized angels people may attempt to keep in a reef tank.

The Majestic angel sports some of the brightest colors of any angelfish, and also remains one of the smallest of its genus. It is also known as the blue girdled angelfish because of the blue markings which extend down its face and posterior across its entire belly. Its back and tail are a bright yellow. Each scale on its sides has a dot of blue in the center. As a juvenile it is deep blue with vertical bands, however they transition while at a small size and most of the individuals we carry already show the adult colors. Males and females are visually identical.

The Majestic angel can grow to be up to 12 inches long and needs a large aquarium as an adult, we recommend at least 180 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 should be fed 2-3 times a day.
