Koran Angel - Medium
The Koran Angel, also called the Semicircle Angel, is a common angel available in the aquarium trade. Juvenile Korans have a black body with narrow blue and white markings that arch toward the rear of the body. There is a distinct white half circle near the tail. The adult Koran has a greenish-brown body. A wide, lighty colored vertical band with blue spots develops on its sides, and a blue outline forms on the gill cover and the fins.The diet of large angels generally consists of meaty foods, algaes, and marine sponge. Many frozen angel formulas and flakes may have extra sponge meal, and live sponges can be purchased to supplement their diet. These angels are not reef safe and have been known to nip at or eat some corals, sponges, and clam mantles. Like other angels, this species should not be kept with other large angels to avoid territorial conflicts. Occasionally, two angels may tolerate one another in a very large aquarium if they have very different coloration and appearance, but is not typically recommended.
