📋 The Woodhead’s Angelfish (Centropyge woodheadi) is a rare and graceful dwarf angelfish discovered in the deep reefs of the South Pacific. Its appearance is subtle yet captivating — a soft golden body with slight amber undertones, delicate blue fin edges, and a distinctive luminescent glow under actinic light.

Preferring tranquil reef slopes and lagoon environments, this species is gentle and peaceful with most tankmates. It adapts best to well-established aquariums with live rock for grazing and retreat. Due to its rarity and mild temperament, it’s highly sought-after by experienced marine enthusiasts and collectors.

A low-key beauty with refined colors and a gentle demeanor, the Woodhead’s Angelfish adds a touch of elegance to any reef tank.
