At 10 to 24 inches long, the Grey Angelfish is a large and beautiful fish to see. Its color ranges from silver grey to charcoal grey. It has yellow pectoral fins and has faint, neon-blue tips to its tail and dorsal fin. Grey Angelfish reside in reef habitats, feeding on the sponges and algae that make their home there. The Grey Angels like the cover that the reefs provide them from predators and the reef habitat provides plenty of space and shelter for their young to grow up protected. Among the other colorful reef fish, it is a Grey beauty. The Grey Angelfish is often found in pairs, but not in schools.
