Description
The White Coral Beauty is a captivating dwarf angelfish, known for its vibrant blend of orange and blue hues with subtle white undertones. Its stunning color pattern and compact size make it a popular choice for marine aquariums. While it is generally peaceful, this species can exhibit semi-aggressive behavior, especially towards other angelfish or similar-sized fish in smaller tanks.
Found in coral-rich areas, the White Coral Beauty requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding spots. While it can be kept in reef tanks, caution is advised as it may nip at soft corals or invertebrates, particularly in undersized or sparsely decorated aquariums.
As an omnivore, the White Coral Beauty thrives on a diet that includes both plant-based and protein-rich foods. A varied diet of spirulina, marine algae, mysis shrimp, and high-quality angelfish preparations will help maintain its vibrant colors and health.
