At first glance the True Shepard’s Angelfish may be casually mistaken for the Coral Beauty Angelfish. Though similar in appearance and coloration, the Shepard’s Angelfish features notably less blue and purple coloration distinct to the Coral Beauty Angelfish. One can argue that the Coral Beauty Angelfish is mostly a blue fish with orange coloration, while the True Shepard’s Angelfish, in contrast, is predominantly an orange fish with blue markings. The majority of the True Shepard’s Angelfish is a vibrant orange and yellow coloration with only a thin perimeter of the back, dorsal, and anal fins sporting a contrasting purple to blue color. Bold vertical bars in a matching blue coloration adorns the upper half of the body.
