Labyrinth Angelfish
Chaetodontoplus sp. “Phantom” x Chaetodontoplus chrysocephalus – The Labyrinth Angelfish is a mysterious hybrid angelfish produced by crossing the Phantom and Maze Angelfish.
Juveniles are dark with a bright yellow head stripe and tail. While they are transitioning to adults, they go through an interesting transformation. As adults, they should have a mixture of both parents’ traits, including blue striping and dark or black coloration along the body. Each individual is unique.
Their ideal diet should include high-quality pellets such as Easy Reefs and Tdo pellets, frozen mysis, frozen Spirulina brine shrimp, and frozen angelfish diets containing sponge.

The fish has a beautiful color change from juvenile to adult. It’s very active and shows distinct blue markings as it matures. I feed it a mix of pellets and frozen mysis daily. It’s a unique addition to my reef tank.

The Labyrinth Angelfish is quite striking. The transition from dark with yellow stripes to adult blue and black patterns is fascinating. I’ve noticed each fish has slightly different patterns, which makes them very individual.

I’ve kept this hybrid for over a year and it’s still vibrant. The diet I follow includes frozen brine shrimp and angelfish pellets. It’s not aggressive and blends well with other reef fish.
