overview
The Koran Angelfish, also referred to as the Semicircular Angelfish or Halfcircled Angelfish, is an extremely popular and hardy angelfish. As an adult, the body color is a yellow-green that bleeds from light to dark moving front to back along the body. Lighter areas are speckled-blue while darker areas have a more yellow-speckled appearance. The head is a plain yellow-green with sapphire-blue gill margins and eye rings. The fins are also outlined in sapphire blue. The juvenile is black with white and blue stripes.
The Koran Angelfish requires a 250 gallon or larger tank with large amounts of live rock for hiding and grazing upon slime algae and cyanobacteria. It is prone to nip at stony and soft corals (sessile invertebrates) and clam mantles so it is not a good candidate for a reef aquarium.

I love people that are so negative.... I am on the other hand I guess a "risky" type as I own a Koran Angel that is about 3.5-4" and he is in the middle of changing out of juvi stage. He is in my 75Gallon Mixed Reef tank. He has been great in my tank and I'm in the process of an upgrade tank in the near future as he will just get to big for the tank I have now. I can tell you with any angelfish no matter the type its about a 50/50 chance of him either being a great fish in your reef or a terror that ticks you off with nipping. I have fed mine twice a day and he has only nipped once or twice on something and its always been a new zoa I put in the sand bed that hadn't been opening. So overall I have been happy with him and wouldn't give him up ever. I expect a loss once in a great while with anything. I have had him in my tank for 7 months now and I also have 5 other fish and a large S. Gigantea carpet, clams, LPS, softies, SPS and all in the tank.

Heres a pic of my reef just to give you a reference of how much I pack in the tank. I don't see the angel in the pic though as he must have been in one of the 5 caverns I have in the tank. Picture is from a month and a half ago

sandman111 · 12/27/2010, 05:11 PM

I have 2 clams and acans.. those are my main concerns?

Conrad25 · 12/27/2010, 09:38 PM

Mine never has been interested in acans or clams at all. i never have even seen him eye one up. So I can't say if he would as I know mine wo.t touch them and one of the clams is outside his cave. I have several acan he hasn't touched ever also. Yours could be different. Every fish has there ways and everything. I always say a full fish is a happy one and that is why he doesnt touch anything.

sandman111 · 12/28/2010, 06:47 AM
