🐠 Lemonpeel Angelfish (Centropyge flavissima)
A Brilliant Lemon-Yellow Body With a Sky-Blue Eye Ring • An Avid Algae Grazer • A Vivid Showpiece for a Fish-Only or FOWLR Tank
 
📋 The Lemonpeel Angelfish is a vibrant dwarf angelfish, brilliant lemon-yellow overall with a striking sky-blue ring around each eye and fine blue outlining along the fins and gill covers.
It comes from coral-rich lagoons and outer reef slopes across the Indo-Pacific, including the Marshall Islands, spending much of the day grazing algae, sponge material, and detritus from the reef. Every Lemonpeel Angelfish we ship is feeding well.
It's not reef safe, and is known to nip at LPS corals, soft coral polyps, and clam mantles, so it's best kept in a fish-only or FOWLR setup. It also needs meaningfully more algae and seaweed in its diet than most angelfish, so regular nori and a well-established tank with natural algae growth matter for its long-term health. It's a territorial species, especially toward other dwarf angelfish or similarly coloured, similarly shaped fish, so it's best kept as the only dwarf angelfish present unless the aquarium is large and heavily aquascaped. It reaches up to 13cm, so plan on at least 200L.
