Angelfish Large Marine Large Angelfish belong to the Pomacanthidae family: Pomacanthus, Holacanthus,
Pygoplities, Apolemichthys, Euxiphipops, Chaetodontoplus, and Genicanthus. Some Angelfish in this group undergo drastic color changes from juvenile to adult patterns.
Unlike most other Angelfish, some members of genus Genicanthus have distinguishing color differences between males and females.
Males are usually larger and more colorful than females of the same species. The largest Pomacanthus Angel reaches a maximum size of over 20 inches in the wild. All Large Angelfish have characteristic spine on their lower cheek. This spine is used defensively, but can also be used in aggression. Their diet should include Spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, mysid or frozen shrimp, and other meaty items. Click on thumbnail for more information.
