Add rich color and classic dwarf angelfish personality to your marine aquarium with the Coral Beauty Angelfish (Centropyge bispinosa).

Known for its deep blue and purple coloration contrasted by brilliant orange to reddish markings, the Coral Beauty is one of the most recognizable dwarf angelfish in the saltwater hobby. Its smaller adult size makes it an attractive centerpiece fish for appropriately sized marine aquariums without the enormous space requirements of many full-sized angelfish.

Each fish undergoes a quarantine and preparation period before being cleared for shipment, providing an additional level of observation before beginning its overnight journey to your aquarium.

Quarantined Before Shipping

This fish does not necessarily ship immediately after ordering.

Live fish undergo a quarantine, observation and preparation period before shipment. Depending on where the individual fish is within that process when your order is placed, additional time may be required before it is cleared to ship.

Please allow up to 14 days for quarantine and preparation prior to shipment.

Once cleared, your fish will be scheduled for overnight delivery.

The quarantine period occurs before shipment and is separate from carrier transit time.

While pre-shipment quarantine provides an additional level of preparation and observation, aquarists may still choose to follow their own quarantine and observation procedures before introducing new livestock to an established display aquarium.

Aquarium Setup

Provide an established saltwater aquarium with plenty of live rock, caves, crevices and hiding areas.

Coral Beauty Angelfish naturally spend much of their time exploring rockwork and grazing throughout the aquarium. An established system with mature rockwork provides both security and natural grazing opportunities.

They can become territorial, particularly toward other dwarf angelfish and similarly shaped fish. Aquarium size, aquascape and existing livestock should be considered carefully before introduction.

Reef Compatibility

Reef Safe With Caution

Many Coral Beauty Angelfish are successfully maintained in reef aquariums, but individual behavior varies.

Like other dwarf angelfish, some individuals may nip at corals, clam mantles and other sessile invertebrates.

There is no guarantee that an individual Coral Beauty will remain completely reef safe. Aquarists with valuable coral or clam collections should consider this risk before purchasing.

Feeding

Coral Beauty Angelfish are omnivores and benefit from a varied marine diet.

Offer quality marine pellets or flakes, frozen mysis and brine shrimp, spirulina and other algae-based foods. Established rockwork can also provide opportunities for natural grazing throughout the day.

A varied diet and regular feeding help support healthy body condition and vibrant coloration.

Appearance & Livestock Variation

Because every fish is unique, size, coloration, markings and overall appearance will naturally vary between individuals. Exact coloration or patterns shown in product photography are not guaranteed.
