Ask a question about this product

The Queen Angel is found on the coral reefs of the Western Atlantic Ocean. They are usually found alone or sometimes as a pair. They can get quite large, up to 18 inches (45 cm) and are not recommended for the saltwater beginner simply because most don't have a large enough tank to keep them in. You would need at least a 150 gallon tank to care for them long term.
The coloration and markings on the Queen Angelfish as a juvenile are very different from the adults. Juveniles have a darker body with white vertical bars towards the back of the body. They lose these bars as adults and develop a sort of "crown" on top of the head, which is why they have the common name "Queen Angelfish". They can be relatively hardy once acclimated into a well established, large tank that is 6 months or older. Live rock will provide grazing opportunities for them in between meals as well as hiding places to help make them feel more secure.
