Flameback Angelfish (Centropyge sp.)

Flameback Angelfish pack a bold orange-red stripe across the back of an otherwise deep blue body, a small but genuinely eye-catching dwarf angel. Like other Centropyge species it spends most of the day grazing algae films and detritus off live rock, doing real cleanup work while it's at it. One of the better reef-friendlier angels for a moderately sized tank.

Care level: Moderate · Temperament: Semi-aggressive · Max size: ~4" · Min tank: 55 gal · Diet: Omnivore, marine algae + meaty foods
