The Golden Angel, also known as the Aurinatus Angelfish or Velvet Dwarf Angel, is a hard-to-find, cryptic species, making it both difficult to acquire and a prized fish in the hobby; it is identified by its velvet-looking burnt orange/red coloration with thin, broken yellow vertical bars running along each side of the body. It requires at least a 55 gallon tank with plenty of hiding places and live rock for grazing, and is best kept as the only dwarf angel in a tank; it adjusts rapidly if introduced as one of the first fish in a well-established aquarium or with very peaceful tankmates; often maintained in reef aquariums, caution should be used with abundant LPS and SPS coral as it has been known to nip at them as well as Xenia corals, usually just irritating rather than damaging them; it prefers small meaty items, angelfish and herbivore preparations, and live sponges.
