Reef Compatible	With caution — may nip at LPS corals and clam mantles

Behavior

A hardy, reef-associated pygmy angel that is slightly more aggressive than the Flame or Coral Beauty. Adapts well to aquarium life. Like most Centropyge, it may be kept singly or as a male-female pair in a larger system. Best introduced to a well-established tank with plenty of rockwork.

Diet & Feeding

Omnivore. Naturally grazes on algae, detritus, and small invertebrates. Provide a varied diet of spirulina, marine algae, mysis shrimp, and quality angel preparations containing sponge material.

Cautions

May nip at soft corals and clam mantles. Best in FOWLR or mixed reef with careful observation.
