Notes: The Swallowtail Angel is one of the best angelfishes for the reef aquarium because it does not bother invertebrates, corals, or zoanthids. The male of this species is dramatically different than the female and is known not as a Swallowtail Angel, but as a Zebra Angel. A pair of these sexually dimorphic angels will add a new dimension to your reef aquarium. Few saltwater fish have such dramatic differences between the male and female. Compatible with a wide range of other fishes, except large, aggressive predators.
