Young Koran Angelfish have a dark blue body covered with semi-circular white and light blue stripes.

As they mature these lines are lost and replaced by symbol pattern similar to Koran text. That is how it got its name. The coloration patterns changes in a few years at a size of six to seven inches.

Koran angel requires excellent water quality and need at least 100 gallon tank.

Feeding

In the wild, Koran Angel feed on algae and associated fauna. As adult it mainly eats sponges, corals, and algae with the remaining bulk made up mostly of worms of all sorts, crustaceans and mollusks. They supplement this diet well in captivity with crustacean and other fresh and frozen animal foods.

Shellfish, squid, frozen and fresh crustaceans should be offered occasionally. Plant material/algae materials should be fed daily. Algae and plant matter should make up a substantial part of their diet. Feed frequently, and in small amounts.
