Quick Stats

Description

The Coral Beauty Angelfish (Centropyge bispinosa), particularly the Tonga variant, is a visually stunning addition to any reef aquarium. Renowned for its vibrant blue body adorned with striking orange and yellow highlights, this fish not only adds color but also dynamic movement to your aquatic environment. Its small size makes it suitable for various tank setups, especially in community aquariums.

As a semi-aggressive species, the Coral Beauty can display territorial behavior, particularly during feeding or nesting. While generally peaceful, it’s essential to introduce it to a well-planned aquarium where plenty of hiding spots and territories can be established. This species thrives in an environment with plenty of live rock and coral, which helps mimic its natural habitat and allows it to graze on algae and small invertebrates.

Feeding the Coral Beauty requires a diet rich in herbivorous foods, including marine algae and spirulina, to promote optimal health and coloration. While they can occasionally accept meaty foods, a plant-based diet is crucial for their well-being. With proper care, water quality, and a balanced diet, the Coral Beauty Angelfish can thrive, showcasing its vivid colors and playful nature in your reef tank.
