About this fish
About this fish
The Flame Angel is a marine angelfish for the home saltwater aquarium, sold under the scientific name Centropyge loricula. This dwarf angel is a great choice when you want an active, colorful centerpiece fish that also naturally grazes on live rock. Because angelfish diets and reef compatibility can vary by species and individual, it’s best used in tanks where you’ve considered what it may pick at (such as corals and clam mantles).
Features:
- Known for bold, attractive patterns that can change as it grows, making it visually interesting over time
- Naturally benefits from live rock and open areas to help it graze and move comfortably
- Best kept as a single angelfish in typical community tanks, since territorial behavior is common
- Requires a varied diet, as many dwarf angels do well with a mix of frozen foods, sponge-based formulas, and algae
- May pick at corals and clam mantles, so reef additions should be planned with care
- Arrives ready for a slow acclimation process so it can settle in with less stress
- Does best after a quiet transition, once added, to help it adjust to tank conditions
