The Coral Beauty Angelfish is an easy to keep dwarf angelfish. They’re extremely variable in coloration, ranging from pale yellow to dark blue in the body with red and orange accents, Â and dark vertical stripes. They’re semi-aggressive with most fish, but downright aggressive with other dwarf angelfish that are not mates. Dwarf angelfish and large angelfish are typically compatible, however. Use caution when housing this fish with corals; it may eat or damage corals and some inverts. Provide plenty of algae in its diet and also offer meaty foods like enriched Artemia, frozen mysis shrimp, and plankton.
These fishes are also known as the Twospined or Dusky Angelfish,and range from the Central and South Pacific, to the Western Pacific Ocean, and throughout the Indian Ocean. The body and head are a deep royal blue, highlighted with an iridescent orange to yellow. It requires a 70 gallon or larger tank with lots of hiding places and rock for grazing. Not a good reef dweller, the Coral Beauty Angelfish is prone to nip at stony and soft corals (sessile invertebrates). The diet of the Coral Beauty Angelfish should consist of Spirulina , marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, mysis or frozen shrimp, and other quality meaty foods.
