Description
A hardy dwarf angelfish with a pale pearly-tan front half that transitions abruptly into a sooty black rear body and tail, with blue-edged anal and dorsal fins and a blue-ringed eye. It is an active, bold grazer that will defend a territory and often bullies other dwarf angels or newly added small fish, so it should be the only Centropyge in most tanks and added late. Provide a mature 70+ gallon system with heavy live rock for grazing and hiding; like all Centropyge it may nip LPS polyps, zoanthids and clam mantles, so it is reef safe only with caution.

With caution
Environment
The Pearlscale Angelfish needs plenty of hiding places. It prefers a well-decorated tank with lots of live rock for grazing. It also needs good water quality with stable conditions.
Behavior
This species is semi-aggressive. It can be territorial, especially towards other angelfish. It's best to keep only one Pearlscale Angelfish per tank unless the tank is large and has plenty of hiding spots.
