📋 The Rock Beauty Angelfish (Holacanthus tricolor) is one of the most vividly colored Atlantic angelfish, displaying a striking yellow face and fins contrasted against a jet-black body. The tail and chest are bright yellow, giving the fish a dramatic, high-contrast look that stands out even in large aquariums.

This species is bold, intelligent, and highly active, often becoming the focal point of any display tank. It naturally inhabits rocky coral reefs where it grazes on sponges and algae.
