Dwarf angelfish or Centropyges

These also belong to the Pomachantid family and share its characteristic spine. They are mainly native to
the Indo-Pacific region, where they frequent the coral reefs taking shelter in caves or under overhangs.
Territorial; they can be aggressive with members of their own species, or with Centropyges with a similar
coloring. They are sociable with other fish and respect invertebrates. They are rarely longer than 12 cm
and require an aquarium of at least 200 liters, equipped with places to hide. Their natural diet mainly
consists of algae; in captivity, a vegetable diet of spinach and lettuce can be topped off with small, live
prey, especially crustaceans.
