Venustus Angelfish

Venustus Angel

The Purple Mask Angelfish, or Purplemask Angelfish, which we call Venustus Angelfish is one of the largest dwarf angelfish found in the deep waters of Western Pacific. It has bluish-purple body with a thick yellow vertical stripe. It is one of the rarest angelfish that will thrive better when provided with a couple of live rocks and large algae to graze upon. A Venustus Angelfish is never recommended as a reef-safe addition for its highly-aggressive behavior. It is not compatible to be kept with species like corals, inverts, and clams.  It is suggested to feed a mixture of Angelfish Formula that contains sponge matter as well as frozen mysis shrimp and spirulina.
