What’s your favorite LARGE angelfish?

[Miami Reef]

Let’s hear them! Looking to add the most voted on in this thread.

Emperor.

Regal, or annularis I like the blue stripped look.

 

[LaloJ]

If you mean just Pomacanthus I must say, IMO the blue girdled is BEAUTIFUL.

 

[Zionas]

1. Pomacanthus: Majestic (P. Navarchus)
2. Chaetodontoplus: Blue Line (C. Septentrionalis)
3. Pygoplites: Regal (P. Diacanthus)
4. Apolemichthys: Goldflake (A. Xanthopunctata)
5. Genicanthus: Female Bellus (G. Bellus)
6. Holacanthus: Not a big fan of this genus

How big do Regals usually grow in captivity? Do they often exceed 7-8”?

This is a tough one! I’d have to say Regal or Goldflake

 

[jmichaelh7]

I’m jealous . Makes me grin bcus I have mixed reef

 

[Gtinnel]

I don't have any angelfish, but I've always loved the way the emperor looks. If I had an appropriate tank that could house one I would definitely get one.

I have a Japanese Swallow because I can’t think of any that are reef compatible

 

[sfin52]

Queen Angel. Its my all time favorite maybe one day ill have a tank big enough for one

 

[Phlynamjax]

Bandit and regal angel

 

[Brymac1]

My favorite is the conspic. But I doubt I’ll ever be able to afford one lol

 

[iReefer12]

The answer is Emp.

 

[MillennialReefer]

So hard to choose! But If I had to pick one it would be an Emperor!

 

[i cant think]

I like the emp however I like the blue face just a little bit more and hope to have a tank big enough for one at some point. I also love the Japanese swallowtails (G. semifasciatus) and they look gorgeous when you get a pair of females and one transitions!

 

[The Fry]

Koran Angels and Emperor Angels! Love the blue and black

 

[LaloJ]

If I had a chance to get Genicanthus semicinctus or G.spinus and had the money to put in a 1000 gallon tank for them then I would, but that's too much to dream of. By the way, Genicanthus semifasciatus is absolutely stunning.
