{"product_id":"majestic-angelfish","title":"Majestic Angelfish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Majestic Angelfish (\u003cem\u003ePomacanthus navarchus\u003c\/em\u003e) is named for the sweeping, iridescent blue-and-white striping that curls across its body like a brushstroke, finished with a vivid yellow tail — a color combination that looks designed rather than evolved and makes it one of the most visually striking angels in the trade. Like every true angelfish, it carries a sharp, defensive spine concealed on its gill plate — the exact anatomical feature that distinguishes pomacanthid angelfish from butterflyfish, which look superficially similar but lack the hardware entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNative to the Western Pacific from the Philippines to Australia and across the Indo-Pacific, the Majestic inhabits coral-rich zones at moderate depth, typically 20–40m, where it grazes on sponges, tunicates, and benthic algae. That sponge-heavy diet is why most angelfish this size are considered a reef risk: they actively seek out and eat the encrusting organisms that reef aquarists also try to cultivate. In a fish-only with live rock (FOWLR) or a non-invertebrate system, it's an outstanding, long-lived centerpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJuveniles look entirely different from adults — dark blue with white markings — and the adult coloration develops gradually over 6–18 months as the fish matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pomacanthus navarchus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Western Pacific — Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and northern Australia — on coral-rich walls and slopes at 20–40m depth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater parameters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temp 72–82°F · Salinity 1.023–1.026 · pH 8.1–8.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTank requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125 gal minimum; 180+ gal preferred; established FOWLR or fish-only system\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore — sponge-based angelfish diet (New Life Spectrum, Ocean Nutrition), marine algae, meaty frozen foods\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not reef safe — will eat sponges, soft corals, and some LPS; semi-aggressive toward similar-sized angels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHusbandry note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Angels in the Pomacanthus genus that go off food are almost always in water that's too cold, too warm, or have been harassed into submission by more aggressive tankmates.
