🐠 Coral Beauty Angelfish (Centropyge bispinosa)
A Deep Blue-to-Purple Body With Iridescent Orange Streaking • One of the Hardiest Dwarf Angels • A True Staple of the Marine Hobby
 
📋 The Coral Beauty Angelfish, also known as the Twospined or Dusky Angelfish, is a true staple of the marine hobby, with a deep blue-to-purple body highlighted by iridescent orange streaking and bright blue margins on the fins. Colouration varies quite a bit across its wide range, giving individual fish real personality.
It comes from coral-rich lagoons, outer reef slopes, and reef crests across the Indo-Pacific, from East Africa to the central Pacific and the Great Barrier Reef, widely regarded as one of the hardiest and most adaptable dwarf angelfish available. Every Coral Beauty Angelfish we ship is feeding well.
It's reef safe with caution: many specimens coexist peacefully with corals for years, but individuals can develop a habit of nipping at LPS coral polyps, soft coral polyps, and clam mantles, which varies between individual fish. It's also territorial, so keep just one per tank unless the aquarium is very large, and it may harass newly introduced or similarly shaped fish. Like other dwarf angelfish, it's sensitive to copper-based medications. It reaches up to 10cm, so plan on at least 265L.
