The Yellowheaded Angelfish is also known as the Orange-Faced Angelfish. The head is orange with greenish-blue wavy stripes. Moving from head to tail, the body becomes progressively darker brown.
The Yellowheaded Angelfish should be housed in a 55 gallon or larger tank with numerous hiding places and large amounts of live rock for grazing. Not a good reef dweller, the Orange-Faced Angelfish is prone to nip at stony and soft corals (sessile invertebrates) and clam mantles.
The diet of the Yellowheaded Angelfish should include Spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, mysid or frozen shrimp, and other meaty items.
Like other large angelfish, they are generally compatible with: Dwarf Angelfish, Anglers & Frogfish, Anthias, Basslets, Batfish, Blennies, Boxfish, Butterflyfish, Clownfish, Damselfish, Eels, Goatfish, Groupers, Grunts & Sweetlips, Hawkfish, Hogfish, Lionfish & Scorpionfish, Parrotfish, Puffers, Squirrelfish, Tangs & Surgeons and Wrasse.
