More about Queen angelfish

The Queen angelfish (Holacanthus ciliaris) is a brightly colored marine fish, predominantly blue and yellow, with a distinctive "crown" of blue and yellow on its head. Originating from the Atlantic Ocean, particularly around reefs in the Caribbean, Bahamas, and Florida, it is recognized for its stunning appearance. This angelfish has a flattened body typical of its family, with long dorsal and anal fins, and can be identified by its vibrant hues and patterns. It is well known and admired in the aquarium hobby for its striking looks, though its care requires knowledge due to specific dietary and environmental needs.
