Centropyge woodheadi
| Identification | A dwarf angel, bright yellow overall with a black blotch at the rear base of the dorsal fin. Very similar to the Lemonpeel but without the strong blue eye-ring. From Fiji and the Coral Sea. |
|---|---|
| Maximum Length | about 4″ |
| Origin | Western Pacific (Fiji, Coral Sea) |
| Minimum Tank Size | 55 Gal. |
| Reef Compatibility | Reef safe with caution |
Behavior
A hardy, active dwarf angel that grazes algae across the rockwork all day. Semi-aggressive toward other dwarf angels; give it mature rock to graze and space to claim.
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 — a “with caution” reef fish. Territorial toward other Centropyge, so add it last. Needs established rock with algae.
