The Koran Angelfish (Pomacanthus semicirculatus Cuvier, 1831) at Dubai Mall Underwater Zoo, Dubai, UAE. 12.04.2013.

Older, larger individuals of the Koran Angelfish transform their irregular rear semicircles to sweeping lines. At four to seven inches they show what appears as Arabic Islamic script (hence the name Koran) in blue against black between blue lines on the tail fin. In some specimens we can read on one side of the tail "La Ilaha Illa Allah" (There is no God but Allah) and on the other side "Sha'n Allah" (A Matter of Allah). (Khalaf-von Jaffa, 2005).

 أشتهرت هذه الأسماك البحرية بسبب وجود عبارة " لا إله إلا الله " على جانب الذيل وعبارة " شأن الله " على الجانب الآخر من الذيل
