The **Chrysurus Angelfish** is a unique and uncommon species rarely found in home aquariums. Initially, they appear as black fish adorned with white and blue vertical stripes. As they grow, their color transitions to a deep brown with white stripes.

These angelfish can grow up to 13 inches and require a minimum tank size of 180 gallons. A well-established tank with plenty of rocks is essential for them to hide and graze. In smaller tanks, avoid housing them with similar angelfish species due to their territorial nature. Adding them to a reef tank can be risky as they may nip at corals and invertebrates like clams.

The **Chrysurus Angelfish** thrives on a balanced omnivore diet, including meaty and plant-based foods. Ideal food options include mysis and brine shrimp, spirulina, and high-quality flake and pellet foods.
