Description
A brilliant lemon-yellow dwarf angel accented with electric blue rings around the eyes and blue edging on the gill cover, dorsal, anal, and caudal fins; juveniles carry a blue-ringed black ocellus on the flank that fades with age. It is one of the bolder, more territorial Centropyge species, so keep just one per tank and add it after milder fish, in a mature aquarium with plenty of live rock for constant grazing. Feed algae-rich foods and nori several times daily, it needs a lot of vegetable matter, and expect it to sample LPS polyps, zoanthids, and clam mantles in a reef.
Reef Safe
With caution
Environment
This fish prefers a well-lit tank with plenty of hiding places. It requires a tank with live rock for grazing and hiding. The tank should also have plenty of space for swimming.
Behavior
The Lemonpeel Angelfish is semi-aggressive. It can be territorial and may become more aggressive if the tank is too small or lacks hiding places.

Great fish in the FOWLR set up. Gets along great with my clowns, damsels, firefish, and inverts. Centerpiece and eye catcher, super entertaining fish.

This is such a beautiful fish but he will eat your coral! I would not recommend adding to any system unless it’s a FOWLR or you don’t care about him munching on your coral.
