Cream Angel
One of the hardier aquarium Angelfish, the Apolemichthys xanthurus is found in the Indian Ocean. Going by the common names Cream Angel, Xanthurus Angel, and Indian Yellowtail Angelfish, it is a sponge eater in the wild. This fish does, however, readily adapt to vegetable and meaty-based prepared foods. It is not a "reef safe" fish and may bother really docile community fish. It is aggressive towards other Angelfish and ideally should be one of the last fish you add to the aquarium to avoid harassment of the new fish. While not having extravagant coloration, it gets its name from the solid bright yellow tail.
Approximate Arrival Size for Cream Angel: Small (Juvenile): 2-3.25"; Medium (Transitioning): 3-4.5"; Large (Adult): 4.75-6.25"; XLarge (Adult): 6.5-7.5"
