Coral Beauty

Vibrantly colored, the Coral Beauty stands out as an excellent addition to the home aquarium. One of the less aggressive of the family, the Coral Beauty is one Angelfish that is more likely to behave itself in your tank. It is added to reef tanks more than any other dwarf Angelfish (probably due to its name) with moderate success.

It will over time nip at corals especially SPS corals like Acropora spp. It stays away from most polyps and mushrooms however and of course will not harm any non-sessile invertebrates such as shrimp or snails.

Diet: In the wild the Coral Beauty angelfish has a varied diet consisting of algae and crustaceans and will easily adapt to captive foods and feed frozen mysis shrimp, amd meaty crustaceans such as shrimp and clam as well as spirulina, flake and other prepared foods.

It requires a 100 Litre or larger tank with lots of hiding places and live rock for grazing. Not a good reef dweller, the Coral Beauty Angelfish is prone to nip at stony and soft corals (sessile invertebrates).

The diet of the Coral Beauty Angelfish should consist of Spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, mysid or frozen shrimp, and other quality meaty foods.
