The king angelfish, scientific name Holacanthus Passer is a semi-aggressive fish. Their minimum tank size is 120 gallons. King angelfish can grow up to 1’ 2” and can live up to 12 years. They are omnivores and should be fed frozen meaty foods such as brine and mysis shrimp and also different types of algae such as nori sheets and pellets. King angelfish should be kept singly. King angelfish will fight with other angelfish that have similar appearance. Multiple angelfish can be kept together but many factors will determine aggression levels; tank size, fish size, rock work, amount of food, other fish in the tank, and also the order the fish are added. Angelfish are not reef safe, they will eat coral polyps and they may also nip at sessile invertebrates such as clams and anemones. King angelfish will sleep in crevices in the rocks and will be swimming throughout the tank during the day.
