Description

The adult and juvenile Blue Face Angelfish differ markedly in coloration. As a juvenile, the body is covered with alternating vertical stripes of black, white, and sapphire blue. Upon growing to approximately five inches, the juvenile Blue Face Angelfish begins to morph into its adult coloration of pale yellow with bluish scales and a bright-yellow pectoral fin, mottled-blue face with yellow mask that extends from eye to eye but not much beyond each eye, along with an eye-spot at the caudal end of the dorsal fin.
