Description
Description
The Passer Angelfish (Holacanthus passer), also called the King Angelfish, is a bold Eastern Pacific showpiece with a deep blue body, bright orange pectorals, and a vivid white vertical bar behind the gill plate. Juveniles wear high-contrast black, white, and orange bands that gradually transition into the regal adult palette, so you enjoy a dramatic color journey as it matures. Confident and territorial, the Passer makes a commanding centerpiece and is best kept as the star of the display rather than in pairs with similar angels.
