Description
Woodhead’s Angel (Centropyge woodheadi) is a stunning dwarf angelfish recognized for its vibrant yellow body adorned with striking blue markings. This species is a favorite among marine enthusiasts, not only for its eye-catching appearance but also for its relatively manageable care requirements compared to larger angelfish. Typically growing up to 6 inches, it fits well in a variety of aquarium setups, provided they meet the minimum size requirements.
Originating from the coral-rich waters of the Pacific Ocean, Woodhead’s Angel is known to inhabit reef environments, where it forages for algae and small invertebrates. While it can coexist with many other reef species, it may exhibit semi-aggressive behavior towards similar-sized fish, especially during feeding or when establishing territory. Therefore, providing ample hiding spots and space within the tank is essential to minimize conflicts.
As an omnivore, this angel requires a varied diet that includes high-quality pellets, flakes, and an assortment of frozen foods. It’s crucial to offer a diet rich in marine algae and vegetable matter to maintain its health and coloration. Due to its captivating look and relatively easy care, Woodhead’s Angel is an excellent addition to both beginner and advanced aquarists’ marine tanks.
