The French Angelfish is one of the most majestic and resilient large species patrolling the Atlantic reefs. Adults showcase a sophisticated, deep charcoal-black body where nearly every scale is intricately rimmed in a shimmering, bright golden-yellow, creating a breathtaking scales-of-gold effect. The face features a beautiful blue hue, accented by a bright yellow ring around the eye. They are incredibly hardy, highly intelligent fish that quickly learn to interact with their owners, making them a premier choice for large fish-only displays.
