Angels, Dwarf
55 species
Dwarf angels, belonging to the genus Centropyge, are a popular choice for reef aquariums due to their vibrant colors and manageable size. They typically grow to about 4-6 inches and are relatively hardy. However, they may nip at corals and clams, so they should be monitored in a reef setting. Dwarf angels thrive in well-established tanks with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. A varied diet of algae, meaty foods, and specialized preparations will help maintain their health and coloration. It's important to provide ample swimming space and to be cautious when housing them with other aggressive or territorial fish.
