Watanabe Angelfish (Genicanthus watanabei) - Male

Watanabe Angelfish are a naturally occurring hybrid, which is exactly why the pattern on this mature male looks like it's borrowing traits from two different angelfish species at once — because, genetically, it is. Hybrids like this show up rarely in the wild and command real attention in the trade because of it. A serious, rare showpiece for a big, established tank.

Care level: Difficult · Temperament: Semi-aggressive · Max size: ~12" · Min tank: 180+ gal · Diet: Omnivore, marine algae + meaty foods
