Half-moon angelfish Profile

The Half-moon angelfish, also known as the Yellow bar angelfish (Pomacanthus maculosus), features a striking appearance with a distinctive yellow vertical bar on its body against a deep blue or bluish-grey background. Originating from the Western Indian Ocean, including the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, this species is known for its bold coloration and large adult size. It showcases an adult morphology with elongated dorsal and anal fins, lending it a unique profile. Although it is recognized in the aquarium hobby, its large size and specific care requirements make it less common than some other angelfish species.
