🐠 Golden Angelfish (Centropyge aurantia)
Marine Angelfish • Coral Reef Grazer • Reef-Associated
 
📋 The Golden Angelfish (Centropyge aurantia) is a rare and breathtaking marine species known for its brilliant golden-orange body streaked with thin, iridescent vertical lines. Found in deeper reef environments, this angelfish exhibits shy and secretive behavior, often taking refuge in crevices or shaded areas among live rock.
Its glowing coloration intensifies under blue aquarium lighting, creating an incredible contrast in reef displays. Although the Golden Angelfish is peaceful, it can be timid during acclimation and benefits from a mature, well-established aquarium with ample hiding spaces and low aggression tankmates.
This fish is a true collector’s gem — a symbol of refinement and rarity in any high-end reef setup.
