6" Changing male Genicanthus Semifasciatus (Swallowtail masked angel)

[Stevenliu9]

Got this guy this week. The LFS owner got him for free from the wholesaler because he was so beat up and on the brink of death. But he bounced back in the store and was eating and recovering well. I think normally something of his size would go anywhere from $150-$300, I got a nice deal for $99! First day he was fighting a lot with my female Watanabe Angel, But they both settled down on the third day and now eating like a pig and is very friendly!

Gosh I always thought masked swallowtails had full coloring, this changed my mind

Before you change your mind, maybe you should look up other pictures to know what it should actually look like.

Genicanthus Semifasciatus has the ability to change from female to male, and also vise versa. So their colors can be constantly evolving depends on which way of the journey they are on. A full blown male will eventually have gold running down and tiger stripes. This one is changing so I am crossing my fingers that in time it will display full male characters.

$99 for a half way male. Not a bad price since a female goes for around $90.

Is this dependent on if you have a female with him?

Make coloration may not stay without females percent. My fully make watenabei has reverted to female color.

I wish I could score a female for $90! The only ones I have seen in the last year have been $250+

I want a smaller female to pair with my big female.
