Curator's Note

The smaller specimens tend to have more color and be less pale compared to the larger ones. Since their bodies are smaller, the blue takes over more of the body. Once they get a little bigger, you will notice the lack of blue towards the middle of the side of the body. Be assured that these are still Deep Water Coral Beauty Angelfish.

Other Common Names

Dusky Angelfish, Twospined Angelfish

Description

Relatively new to the hobby, the deep water version of the ever popular Coral Beauty is a stunning addition to any saltwater aquarium. Because they are collected at depth, they do require more stable tank conditions than shallow water animals can tolerate. Make sure parameters such as pH, temperature and salinity are maintained precisely.

Vibrantly colored, the Coral Beauty stands out as an excellent addition to the home aquarium. One of the less aggressive of the family, the Coral Beauty is one Angelfish that is more likely to behave itself in your tank. It is added to reef tanks more than any other dwarf Angelfish (probably due to its name) with moderate success. It will over time nip at corals especially SPS corals like Acropora spp. It stays away from most polyps and mushrooms however and of course will not harm any non-sessile invertebrates such as shrimp or snails.

Diet

In the wild the Coral Beauty angelfish has a varied diet consisting of algae and crustaceans and will easily adapt to captive foods and feed frozen mysis shrimp, amd meaty crustaceans such as shrimp and clam as well as spirulina, flake and other prepared foods.
