The Black Velvet Angelfish, also known as the Gray Poma, is predominantly black with a variable-sized splash of gray on the head and the horizontal upper half of the body; the tail and posterior tip of the dorsal fin are outlined in yellow. It is shy and may be difficult to acclimatize; it needs a tank of not less than 50 gallons with plenty of hiding places; it is not a good reef dweller, since it nips at stony and soft corals and clam mantles; it prefers Spirulina, marine algae, quality angelfish preparations, shrimp, and other meaty fare along with live rock for grazing filamentous algae and diatoms.
