The Half Moon Angelfish in its juvenile form, is deep blue with several white vertical bars. The body is surrounded by a metallic blue colour and it has a bright yellow tail.
As the fish matures and grows, a bright vertical bar will appear, and the white vertical stripes will disappear. A neon blue irregular pattern will start to show and the center vertical stripe will turn a vivid yellow, and the tail a transparent yellow. As an adult, the fish will eventually turn a gorgeous blue with a large vertical yellow bar midbody.
This species grows up to 30 centimetres in length, so it should be kept in a 800 litre or larger tank with only one specimen per tank. It is not a good candidate for a reef aquarium since it is prone to nip at stony and soft corals and clam mantles.
The Half Moon Angelfish is hermaphroditic, difficult to breed, and indistinguishable in colour variations from male to female.
The diet of the Half Moon Angelfish should include Spirulina, marine algae, meaty items, and high-quality angelfish preparations containing sponges.
