Species Description

Another of the hardy yet extremely rare dwarf Angelfish, the Joculator Angelfish is only found around the Cocos and Christmas Islands. If you are lucky enough to purchase one of these fish, it will make a great addition to the seasoned aquarium utilizing live rock for filtration or decoration. Most people will keep this rare beauty in reef tanks with fairly good results. The consensus being that adequate diet and frequent feedings will keep this Angelfish from picking at coral or clam mantels. They will be intolerant of their own species as well as fish sharing similar coloration or shape especially the Bicolor Angelfish.
