Majestic Angelfish

(Pomacanthus navarchus )

The Majestic Angelfish lives up to its name with a bold mosaic of blue, yellow, and black. Inhabiting Pacific reefs, it grazes on sponges and benthic invertebrates. Its hardiness and stunning appearance make it a prized (but challenging) addition to large aquariums.
