Flagfin Angelfish (Apolemichthys trimaculatus)

The Flagfin Angelfish gets its name from a flowing, flag-like extension trailing off the dorsal fin, a feature most dwarf angels don't bother with. Bold orange-and-blue coloring and a noticeably calmer temperament than most large angels make it a solid choice for a tank stepping up from a fish-only community. Semi-aggressive by angelfish standards, but generally more reef-friendly than its giant cousins.

Care level: Moderate · Temperament: Semi-aggressive · Max size: ~10" · Min tank: 100+ gal · Diet: Omnivore, marine algae + meaty foods
