**Flagfin Lg Angel: The Jewel of the Reef**

The Flagfin Large Angel (Apolemichthys trimaculatus) is a breathtaking addition to any dedicated aquarist's collection. With its striking golden body adorned with a bold black spot and vibrant blue accents, this angel fish is sure to be the crown jewel of your reef aquarium.

**Care Requirements:**

To ensure the health and vibrant coloration of your Flagfin Lg Angel, maintain water parameters within the following ranges: temperature between 72-78°F, pH levels of 8.1-8.4, and specific gravity of 1.020-1.025. These angels thrive in larger tanks, requiring a minimum of 125 gallons to accommodate their active swimming habits and territorial nature.

**Feeding:**

A varied diet is crucial for the Flagfin Lg Angel's health and longevity. Provide a balanced diet consisting of high-quality angelfish preparations, mysis shrimp, and marine algae. Supplementing with sponge-based foods will mimic their natural diet and help maintain their vibrant coloration.

**Tank Compatibility:**

The Flagfin Lg Angel is generally considered semi-aggressive, making it essential to choose tank mates wisely. They can coexist peacefully with other non-aggressive species, but caution is advised when pairing with other angelfish or similarly sized territorial species.

**Reef Compatibility:**

While the Flagfin Lg Angel is a stunning addition to a fish-only tank, it may not be suitable for all reef setups. They have been known to nip at soft and stony corals, as well as clams, so careful consideration should be given when introducing them to a reef environment. Providing ample live rock with hiding spots and plenty of swimming space can help mitigate territorial behavior and promote harmony.

The Flagfin Lg Angel is a captivating and majestic presence that can transform your aquarium into a vibrant underwater paradise. With proper care and attention, this angelfish will be a centerpiece that brings beauty and elegance to your aquatic world.

Feeding & Diet

An opportunistic omnivore, the Pithos Crab will scavenge detritus, uneaten food, and algae — making it a natural cleanup crew member. Supplement with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or pellets 2–3x per week if natural food sources are limited.

Care & Water Parameters

The Pithos Crab thrives in stable, well-maintained reef conditions. Target parameters: temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. A mature, established tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended.

Reef & Tank Compatibility

Generally considered reef-safe. The Pithos Crab coexists well with most corals and peaceful fish. Use caution with very small invertebrates or slow-moving tankmates. Provide ample rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial behavior.

Size & Growth

Pithos Crabs are typically shipped at 0.5–1.5 inches. They are slow-growing and generally remain small, making them well-suited for nano and mid-size reef systems.
