The Gray Black Angelfish is hardy, and can reach a length of 20 inches as an adult. It therefore requires a 200 gallon or larger tank. The tank should contain large amounts of live rock for hiding and grazing. Gray Black Angelfish is prone to nip at stony and soft corals.
A varied diet should be provided which includes Spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, and mysis or frozen shrimp.
