A great Watanabei Female Angel!
Origin: Melanesia

Size info:
Size ML: approx. 3.75 - 4.5"

In the ocean, so blue and serene,
Swims the Watanabei Female Angel, supreme.
Her vivid colors so bright,
Caught the eye of many at first sight,
A true beauty, a sight to be seen.

With her long flowing fins and tail,
She gracefully swims with no fail.
Her diet consists of sponges,
And algae, she quickly lunges,
A herbivore, that's no tall tale.

The depth she resides in is deep,
Around 150 feet, where she sleeps.
Her popularity is rare,
But to those who know her, they swear,
She's one of the coolest fish to keep.
