Maculosus Angelfish Overview
The Maculosus Angelfish (Pomacanthus maculosus) primarily inhabits coral and rocky areas in shallow to moderate depths, up to 40 feet. While it sometimes appears in the aquarium trade, it prefers silty environments over rich coral reefs. Juvenile Maculosus Angelfish are deep blue with narrow, vertical whitish bars. As they mature, their anal and dorsal fins become more pointed, and their coloration shifts. Adults display a yellowish-white caudal fin with fine yellow dots and a white margin.Maculosus Angelfish Diet & Nutrition
