Behavior
A hardy but initially shy deepwater dwarf angel that grazes the rockwork. Give it caves and shaded areas and it settles well. Semi-aggressive toward other Centropyge.
Diet & Feeding
Omnivore and grazer. Offer dried algae/nori, angelfish preparations, mysis and pellets.
Cautions
May nip corals and clam mantles. From deeper water — acclimate it to strong reef lighting slowly. Shy at first, so house it with peaceful fish.
