COMMON NAME - Keyhole Angelfish (Melas Angelfish)

SIZE - 7.5" (19 cm)

MIN. AQUARIUM SIZE - 20 Gal. (76 L)

FOODS AND FEEDING - Varied diet, Spirulina and marine algae, Mysid shrimp and other high
quality marine meaty fare. Feed at least 2 times a day. Live rock
for constant grazing is a plus.

REEF COMPATIBILITY - Prone to eat some soft corals, nip large polyped stony corals,
Zoanthids, and clam mantles.

aggressively towards other pygmy Angelfish. Should be the last fish
