Description
The Emperor Angelfish (Pomacanthus imperator) is a strikingly beautiful tropical fish known for its vibrant, blue and yellow striped body with a distinct dark eye-band and electric blue edging. Found in the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific region, particularly around coral reefs, this angelfish can grow up to 15 inches (38 cm) in length. Emperor angelfish go through a fascinating transformation as they mature, with juveniles displaying a completely different pattern of circular blue and white stripes before developing the adult coloration. They feed primarily on sponges and algae, playing a role in maintaining reef health. The Emperor Angelfish is popular in the aquarium trade, though its sensitivity to changes in water quality means it requires careful management.
