Care
The Asfur Angelfish is known from semi-protected inshore reefs with rich soft and hard coral growth, to depths of 30m (98ft). Here these impressive, semi-aggressive fish are found singly or in male-female pairs, feeding primarily on tunicates and sponges. Although the Asfur Angelfish is a large-growing and active species, it can be somewhat shy at times. The aquarium must be voluminous, mature, and contain plenty of live rockwork that is arranged to create a multitude of visual barriers and bolt holes, as well as a roomy swimming space along the front of the tank. In fact the more places to hide, the more you will see of your Asfur Angel; this is because the fish will gain confidence in knowing it can retreat out of sight quickly should it feel the need. Keep only one specimen per tank, and not with any other angelfish. The Asfur Angelfish is considered one of the more peaceful Pomacanthids, and it does best with similar tempered tankmates, although may harass very passive fish or newly introduced fish - for this reason, it should be the final addition to the tank. Unfortunately, Asfur Angels will nip at LPS corals, some soft corals such as Xenia sp., and also clam mantles
