These
striking angels have been touted as a very good fish
for reef tanks. This is generally true of most of
the pygmy angels although any angelfish in a reef
must be observed carefully because they are not completely
trustworthy. At times they have been known to
destroy corals, sponges, etc.
A
flashy and popular species, this dwarf angelfish has
long been considered a durable aquarium choice. Can
be aggressive towards members of its own genus, as
well as toward fishes with similar shape or behavior
if they are not introduced after it has become established.
To fit into a relatively peaceful community setting,
it should be the last fish introduced.
