About the Bicolor Angel

Bicolor angels are hard to miss, with a yellow head and tail and a deep blue body, and they dart busily between rocks all day. They need 70 gallons or more with plenty of live rock and several small meals a day of algae and meaty foods. They are reef safe only with caution: some leave corals alone, but others nip stony and soft corals and clam mantles. Keep one per tank.
