Description
The Pygmy Yellow Tail Angel is a strikingly vibrant dwarf angelfish known for its rich blue body contrasted by a bright yellow tail. This semi-aggressive species can be territorial, especially in smaller tanks or with other dwarf angelfish. While generally reef-safe, it may nip at soft corals and certain invertebrates, so caution is advised in reef setups. This fish thrives on a varied diet, including algae, spirulina, and occasional meaty foods. It is a beautiful addition to a smaller marine aquarium, adding a splash of color and activity.
