Description
A tiny dwarf angel with a deep sapphire-blue body and a golden-orange face and chest, edged in electric blue on the fins. Bold and constantly active, it darts among rockwork grazing on film algae, but it is territorial toward conspecifics and other dwarf angels, so keep one per tank (or a bonded pair in larger systems). Provide mature live rock with abundant caves and crevices; it is generally well behaved with corals but may occasionally nip LPS polyps or clam mantles, so watch it in a mixed reef.

With caution
Environment
The Cherub Angelfish prefers a well-lit tank with plenty of hiding spots and live rock for grazing. It can tolerate a range of water conditions but does best in stable, well-maintained tanks.
Behavior
This species is relatively peaceful but can be territorial with its own kind. It is best to keep only one in a tank unless the tank is large enough to support multiple territories.
