The Blueface Angelfish, also called the Yellowface or Yellowmask Angelfish, differs markedly in coloration with age; juveniles have alternating vertical stripes of black, white, and sapphire blue, while adults are pale yellow with bluish scales, a bright yellow pectoral fin, a mottled-blue face with a yellow mask from eye to eye, and an eyespot at the caudal end of the dorsal fin. It requires at least a 220 gallon tank with numerous hiding places and large amounts of live rock for grazing; it is not a good reef dweller, prone to nip at stony and soft corals and clam mantles, and is best kept as the only angelfish as it can become territorial; feed Spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, mysis or frozen shrimp, and other meaty items at least three times daily.
