Shepards Angel

Quick Stats

Description

The Shepards Angel (Centropyge shepardi) is a striking dwarf angelfish characterized by its vibrant blue body accented with bright orange and yellow hues. Native to the coral reefs of the Western Pacific, this species thrives in areas rich in coral growth and provides a stunning visual appeal in home aquariums.

Moderately easy to care for, the Shepards Angel is known for its semi-aggressive temperament, particularly towards its own kind and other similarly sized fish. While generally reef-safe, it may occasionally nip at soft corals or sessile invertebrates, making it essential to monitor its interactions in a mixed tank. A varied diet that includes high-quality marine pellets, frozen foods, and occasional plant matter will promote its health and vibrant coloration. Providing plenty of hiding spots and swimming space will help ensure a harmonious environment.
