Apolemichthys xanthurus

Reef Safe with Caution

The Cream Angelfish, also known as the Yellowtail Cream Angelfish, is a captivating marine fish noted for its striking coloration and unique features. It has a creamy white to light yellow body with a distinctive bright yellow tail and blue highlights on the fins. This vibrant and elegant appearance makes the Cream Angelfish a popular choice for marine aquariums. While generally hardy, it is considered reef safe with caution, as it may occasionally nip at soft corals and small invertebrates, particularly if not adequately fed. Providing a varied diet rich in algae and offering ample live rock for grazing and hiding can help mitigate such behavior. The Cream Angelfish thrives in tanks with plenty of hiding spots and a stable environment, making it a beautiful and manageable addition for experienced aquarists.
