A fully adult Emperor in its yellow-and-blue striped coloration is a different animal: the change takes years in the wild, and large adults are collected and shipped one at a time in oversized boxes, which adds significant freight cost. A healthy, eating adult is a true centerpiece fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ePomacanthus imperator\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Asia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e XL (5.5\" - 7\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e With Caution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Aggressive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum aquarium:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72-78°F, pH 8.1-8.4, specific gravity 1.020-1.025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood tankmates:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tangs, larger wrasses, triggers and other robust fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Other large angelfish; delicate corals and clams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCare Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeeds a very large, mature aquarium with plenty of swimming room and live rock to graze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest suited to fish-only systems or carefully planned reefs, as large angelfish may nip at corals and clams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed a varied diet that includes sponge-based and marine algae foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow to Buy, Pickup \u0026amp; Shipping\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConditioned (7-Day Hold):\u003c\/strong\u003e your fish usually reaches us the day after you order.
