Flame Dwarf Angel Centropyge Loricula

Overview: The Flame Dwarf Angel, known for its vivid orange-red body with vertical black stripes and blue-tipped dorsal and anal fins, is a stunning addition to any marine aquarium. Reaching a maximum size of about 4 inches, this species is ideal for adding a splash of color to smaller and medium-sized tanks.

Origin: Native to the warm, tropical waters of the Central and Western Pacific Ocean, Centropyge loricula is often found darting around coral reefs and rocky outcrops, seeking shelter among the crevices.

Feeding: A varied diet is key for maintaining the health and coloration of the Flame Dwarf Angel. Offer a mix of marine algae, spirulina, high-quality angelfish preparations, mysis shrimp, and other meaty foods. Feed 2-3 times daily in small amounts to avoid overfeeding.

Tank Mates: While generally peaceful, Flame Dwarf Angels can exhibit territorial behavior towards their kind or similar-looking species. They do well with a variety of reef-safe fish and invertebrates. Avoid housing with large, aggressive fish that may bully or stress them.

Aggression: This species is known for its moderate aggression level, mainly towards conspecifics or similarly sized fish. Providing plenty of hiding spaces and a well-structured environment can help mitigate aggressive behaviors.

Experience Level: Intermediate. While not overly demanding, maintaining optimal water conditions and a balanced diet is crucial for the well-being of the Flame Dwarf Angel.
