Food and diet: In the aquarium they should be sustained by a wide selection of live, fresh, or frozen and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, chopped krill, chopped clams, chopped squid, marine algae, zucchini, spinach, romaine lettuce, and quality Spirulina-based flake foods for angelfish and herbivores. Feed them at least three small meals a day to help support their fast metabolism. If a specimen doesn't initially eat during acclimation, they can be enticed with live brine shrimp, ghost shrimp, and freshly chopped seafood.

This angelfish is yellowish-tan with areas of bright light blue trim it is quite similar to the Queen angelfish and the two are often mistaken. One of the obvious differences in the coloration of these two fish is that the Queen angelfish will have blue trim on the trailing edges of its upper and lower fins while the Blue Angel fish does not.
