Rock beauty Profile

The Rock beauty (Holacanthus tricolor) is a marine fish characterized by its striking coloration, with a predominantly yellow tail and rear, contrasting black midsection, and a vivid yellow head marked by a black spot on the upper part. It is native to the western Atlantic Ocean, ranging from Bermuda and the Bahamas down to the northern coast of South America. This species features an oval body shape typical of angelfish, and it grows to an average size of around 14 inches in length. Despite its eye-catching appearance, the Rock beauty is not as commonly kept in the aquarium hobby as other angelfish due to its specific dietary requirements and the challenge of maintaining it in captivity.
