Yellow Angel

Centropyge heraldi

Identification	Solid lemon-yellow body with no markings or patterns — a clean, uniform yellow that is bright and vibrant. Often confused with the Lemonpeel Angel but lacks the Lemonpeel's blue eye ring and fin highlights.
Maximum Length	Up to 4 inches (10 cm)
Origin	Pacific Ocean — Fiji, Tonga, Japan, Australia
Minimum Tank Size	55 gallons
Reef Compatible	With caution

Behavior

Also known as Herald’s Angelfish or the False Lemonpeel. A peaceful, hardy pygmy angel that adjusts well to aquarium life. Its clean yellow coloration makes it easy to see clearly in any tank. Keeps to itself and rarely bothers other fish.

Diet & Feeding

Omnivore. Provide spirulina, dried seaweed, marine algae, frozen mysis shrimp, and quality angel preparations. A good variety maintains the vivid yellow color.

Cautions

May nip at soft corals and polyps. Introduce to an established reef tank and monitor carefully. Less likely to nip than some Centropyge but not fully reef safe.
