Semicircle Angelfish: A Majestic Marine Jewel

Witness the incredible transformation of the Semicircle Angelfish, a truly captivating marine species that adds vibrant beauty and dynamic presence to your large saltwater display.

Overview

The Semicircle Angelfish (*Pomacanthus semicirculatus*) undergoes a stunning metamorphosis. Juveniles display a striking dark blue body adorned with concentric white and electric blue semicircular stripes. As they mature, these patterns gracefully transition into the adult’s breathtaking greenish-brown body, detailed with iridescent blue speckles and sapphire-blue margins on its fins. This large angelfish is a commanding presence, typically seen grazing among rocks or cruising open water.

Care Level

Caring for the Semicircle Angelfish requires an experienced aquarist due to its size, specific dietary needs, and semi-aggressive temperament. While generally peaceful with dissimilar tankmates, they can be territorial towards conspecifics and other angelfish. They are not considered reef-safe, as they may nip at various corals and invertebrates. Ensure pristine water conditions for these healthy aquarium fish.

Tank Essentials

A minimum of 700 litres is essential to provide ample swimming room and territory for an adult Semicircle Angelfish. Your aquarium should feature abundant live rockwork with plenty of hiding places and areas for natural grazing. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.1-8.4, and a temperature range of 22-28°C. Excellent filtration and oxygenation are paramount.

Diet

As omnivores, their diet should be diverse. Offer high-quality marine flakes and pellets, supplemented with a variety of frozen foods like Mysis shrimp, krill, and chopped clam. Ensure a significant portion of their diet includes marine algae and sponge-based angelfish preparations for optimal health. Feed multiple small meals throughout the day.
