About
The Masked Angelfish (Genicanthus personatus) is one of the most sought-after reef angels, endemic to the Hawaiian archipelago. Males display a striking white body with a jet-black mask, while females are predominantly white with yellow-tipped caudal fins. Rarely available and commanding premium prices due to limited range and collection restrictions.
Care Guide
Requires a very large reef or FOWLR system of at least 500 L with excellent water quality. A planktivore — feed frozen mysis, cyclops, and enriched brine shrimp multiple times daily. Reef-safe and peaceful. Keep as a mated pair or single individual. Not for beginners; demands stable pristine conditions.
