Pomacanthus chrysurus

Not Reef Safe

The Golden Tail Angelfish, also known as the Yellowtail Angelfish, is a striking marine fish admired for its vibrant coloration and distinctive features. It has a bright yellow body with a prominent golden tail and blue accents on the fins, creating a stunning visual effect. This captivating appearance makes the Golden Tail Angelfish a popular choice for marine aquariums. Although 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 minimize such behavior. The Golden Tail Angelfish thrives in tanks with plenty of hiding spots and a stable environment, making it a beautiful and manageable addition for experienced aquarists.
