Description: The Xanthurus Angel is a creamy, beige fish with a black face and black coloration toward the back of the dorsal and anal fins. This fish also sports a yellow caudal fin and yellow circles behind the eyes. This angel hails from the Indian Ocean. Angelfish are especially prone to disease. It is recommended to use a protein skimmer and UV sterilizer. Feeding pellet food soaked with vitamin C will help boost the Xanthurus Angel's immune system. Utilizing a protein skimmer and UV sterilizer while feeding vitamin C will help prevent this angelfish from getting sick. Provide a varied diet that includes pellet food, meaty foods, and seaweed. This fish will also appreciate plenty of rock work to form it's own territory in the tank. Do not mix this angel with other Apolemichthys sp. angelfish (ex: Flagfin, Kingi)
