Pomacanthus asfur - T.B.

Pomacanthus asfur, commonly known as the Asfur angelfish, is a large angelfish. As juveniles they're black with blue vertical stripes which are bend slightly backwards. Some stripes are dark blue, some light blue and some almost white in colour. As with most angelfishes, their adult appearance is totally different. Their body becomes solid dark blue, darker towards the tail with one very broad yellow vertical band in the middle which flows all the way into the dorsal fin. Their caudal fin also becomes solid yellow, unlike the very similar P. maculosus which has a fine scribbled patterns appear on the back half of the body and these blue scribbles also show up in their caudal fin.

Like all other angelfish it's hermaphroditic and the most dominant fish will turn into a male when there is no other male around. If you do consider adding them to your tank, do keep in mind that they are usually quite dominant towards other angelfishes especially other Pomacanthus and very aggressive towards other P. asfur unless a mated pair.
Most angelfish are not really reef safe and this one is no exception. As juveniles they mainly eat filamentous algae, but as adults sponges and tunicates are a staple part of their diet. Keeping them well fed seems to reduce the risk, so make sure to feed them a proper varied diet of algae and meaty foods to make them really happy. But do keep in mind that they may sooner or later start nipping/eating all sorts of corals (especially Zoanthus, LPS and clams). So best keep this fish in a fish-only tank or plan your corals well and accept the damage it can do.

This fish is Tank Bred and will adapt to your aquarium easier compared to a wild caught specimen!
