Centropyge bispinosa, commonly known as the Coral Beauty Angelfish, is a popular choice for marine aquarium hobbyists due to its vivid colours and manageable size. Originating from the reefs of Fiji, this dwarf angelfish displays a beautiful mix of deep blue and orange hues, making it a striking addition to any reef setup.
Care Level: Moderate – suitable for aquarists with some marine experience.
Temperament: Generally peaceful but can show territorial behaviour, especially towards conspecifics or similar species.
Diet: Omnivorous – requires a varied diet including marine algae, spirulina, mysis shrimp, and specialised angelfish preparations to maintain vibrant colouration and health.
Minimum Tank Size: 75 litres (20 gallons) recommended to provide ample swimming space and territory.
Reef Compatibility: With Caution – generally reef safe but may nip at soft corals, clam mantles, or sessile invertebrates. Monitor individual behaviour closely.
Lighting & Water Flow: Standard reef aquarium lighting and moderate water flow are ideal to mimic natural reef conditions.
Placement: Provide plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding spots. This helps reduce stress and territorial disputes.
Origin: Fiji
Maximum Size: Up to 10 cm (4 inches)
When introducing Centropyge bispinosa to your aquarium, it is advisable to add it last if housing other angelfish species to reduce aggression. Regular water changes and stable water parameters will ensure optimal health and longevity.
