Behavior
A hardy, active dwarf angel that grazes the rockwork all day and grows bold once settled. Generally well behaved, though semi-aggressive toward other dwarf angels.
Diet & Feeding
Omnivore and grazer. Provide dried algae/nori and angelfish preparations plus mysis and quality pellets.
Cautions
May nip LPS, soft corals, zoanthids and clam mantles. Territorial toward other Centropyge, so add it last. Pricey — give it mature rock with algae to graze.
