🐠 Bicolor Angelfish (Centropyge bicolor)
Marine Angelfish • Coral Reef Grazer • Reef-Associated
 
📋 The Bicolor Angelfish (Centropyge bicolor) is one of the most striking dwarf angelfish, instantly recognizable by its vivid yellow front half and deep blue posterior. Its bright coloration makes it a standout addition to marine aquariums and a favorite among hobbyists seeking bold reef fish.
This angelfish is known for its active swimming behavior, constantly grazing live rock for algae and sponges. It adapts well in established aquariums with ample rockwork and caves, where it can establish territories. While generally hardy, it requires excellent water quality and a balanced diet to maintain its brilliant colors.
Aquarists keep this species not only for its appearance but also for its algae-grazing role, though care must be taken as it may develop a taste for corals, making it best suited for semi-reef or FOWLR setups.
