The juvenile King Angel is yellow-orange with bright blue markings and a white bar behind the pectoral fin. The adult is dark blue with the white bar on either side of its body, and a crown of bright blue dots on the forehead. The anal and dorsal fins are orange and blue, and its tail is yellow. As the King Angel matures, it can become aggressive and will not tolerate other angels. It grazes on live rock and will nip at corals and other invertebrates, so keep it in large, fish-only tanks.The Passer, like other angels, requires a diet high in both algae and meaty foods. A varied diet including brine shrimp, sponges, and algaes is recommended.
