The Coral Beauty Angelfish, also known simply as the Coral Beauty, is a stunningly colorful and hardy species, making it one of the most popular dwarf angelfish for home aquariums. Its deep blue body, accented with vibrant orange or yellow on the sides, gives it an eye-catching appearance. This species is relatively easy to care for, and its peaceful temperament makes it a great choice for reef or community tanks.
The Coral Beauty Angel typically grows up to 4 inches in size and can thrive in smaller reef aquariums, though it does require plenty of live rock to graze on and hide within. These fish are generally peaceful but can occasionally display territorial behavior, particularly towards other dwarf angelfish, so it’s important to house them with compatible tank mates.
While they are mostly reef-safe, caution should be taken as the Coral Beauty may occasionally nip at soft corals or clam mantles. Offering a varied diet of marine algae, spirulina, and frozen meaty foods, such as mysis shrimp and brine shrimp, will keep them healthy and help deter any coral nipping behavior.
