🐠 Bicolor Angelfish (Centropyge bicolor)
A Vivid Yellow Front Sharply Divided From a Deep Blue Rear • An Unmistakable Split-Colour Pattern • An Active, Grazing Reef Display Fish
 
📋 The Bicolor Angelfish is one of the most striking dwarf angelfish in the hobby, with a vivid yellow front half sharply divided from a deep royal-blue rear half, a small blue mark above the eye, and a bright yellow tail.
It comes from lagoons, channels, and protected reef slopes across the Indo-Pacific, from East Africa to Micronesia and south to New Caledonia, found alone, in pairs, or in small groups, darting quickly between crevices for shelter. Every Bicolor Angelfish we ship is feeding well.
It's reef safe with caution: many specimens leave corals alone, but individuals can nip at large-polyped stony corals, zoanthids, and clam mantles, particularly if underfed. A well-fed fish in a large, mature tank with plenty of live rock to graze significantly reduces this risk, though it's never fully eliminated. It's also territorial, so keep just one per tank unless the aquarium is very large, and never house it with other dwarf angelfish in a smaller system. It reaches up to 15cm, so plan on at least 280L, with a mature tank and ample live rock essential.
