Mesmerising Colour Evolution
One of the most captivating features of the Pomacanthus semicirculatus is its striking juvenile-to-adult transformation. Juveniles display vivid electric blue and white semicircles across a dark body, while adults develop a rich greenish-blue base with a golden scale pattern, complemented by iridescent highlights and a bold facial stripe. This unique change makes it a fascinating species to grow and admire over time.
Best for Large, Well-Established Aquariums
This angelfish thrives in large marine aquariums with ample swimming space, stable water conditions, and strong biological filtration. As a semi-aggressive species, it is best housed with other robust fish in fish-only or carefully planned FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) setups. It may nip at corals and sessile invertebrates, so it is not considered reef-safe.
A True Centrepiece for Expert Aquarists
With its regal appearance, confident personality, and vibrant colouring, the Pomacanthus semicirculatus commands attention in any tank. It benefits from a varied diet including sponge-based foods, marine algae, and high-quality frozen or prepared meals. For those with the space and experience, this angelfish delivers long-term visual impact and dynamic behaviour.
