Native to the warm waters of the Western Atlantic, from Bermuda and the northern Gulf of Mexico to Brazil, the Rock Beauty Angelfish thrives in reef environments. It is often found amidst coral and rocky substrates where it can graze and take refuge.

Feeding

Rock Beauty Angelfish have a specialized diet that predominantly consists of sponges and marine algae. In an aquarium setting, they require a varied diet that includes quality angelfish preparations, spirulina, mysis shrimp, and other foods rich in marine algae. Regular feeding of sponge-containing formulas is crucial for their well-being.

Suitable companions include larger damselfish, tangs, and some types of wrasses. It is advisable to introduce the Rock Beauty last to the aquarium to minimize territorial disputes.

Aggression
