Description
A dwarf (pygmy) angelfish hybrid showing the bright yellow body of the Lemonpeel blended with the smoky black rear and tail of the Halfblack, often with blue highlights on the eye ring, gill spine and fin margins; coloration varies widely between individuals. Semi-aggressive and territorial toward other dwarf angels and similar-shaped fish, it should be the only Centropyge in the tank and is best added last to an established system with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. Provide a mature 70+ gallon tank with algae growth and a varied herbivore-leaning diet; like its parents it will often nip stony coral polyps and clam mantles.
Reef Safe
With caution

Behavior
This species is known for its semi-aggressive behavior. It can be territorial, especially towards other angelfish and similar-looking species.
