Coral Beauty Angelfish
Coral Beauty Angelfish (Centropyge bispinosa)
The Coral Beauty Angelfish is one of the most popular dwarf angels in the hobby, prized for its vibrant royal blue body, fiery orange-to-red center, and shimmering purple highlights. Hardy, active, and full of personality, this fish adds constant motion and brilliant color to both reef and fish-only systems.
Native to the Indo-Pacific, Coral Beauties are generally peaceful but may become territorial with other dwarf angels. They are known to graze on algae throughout the day, helping maintain a clean tank environment.
