Cream Angelfish
Cream Angelfish trade the loud color-blocking most large angels are known for a soft, understated pale-yellow wash — elegant in a way that's easy to overlook in a fish list but hard to miss in person. It grazes algae and sponges across live rock the same way every large angelfish does, and carries the same hidden defensive spine on the gill plate the whole family is named for. A striking centerpiece for an established fish-only or FOWLR tank that wants something a little different.
