One of the more popular of the dwarf angelfish, the Coral Beauty is more hardy and less aggressive than it's cousins. Typically, it will leave other tankmates alone, but beware of introducing other similar fish after it has become established. The best tank set up for this one would be plenty of established live rock for hiding and grazing. |

The Coral Beauty Angelfish (Centropyge bispinosus) is sometimes called a Twospined Angelfish or a Dusky Angelfish. It belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 4.3 inches in length, the Coral Beauty Angelfish is generally passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Centropyge bispinosus should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.

With enough live rock to provide a safe haven the coral beauty rarely shows stress related behavior.

if you have lots of live rock with lots of hiding places than your coral beauty angelfish will adapt very well to your enviorment.

I've also observed that Coral Beauty is VERY intelligent. It appears this species is observative and curious. Mine is to the point now, that when he sees me watching him, not only will he come to the side of the glass to check things out, he also expects food... interesting behaviorial response.

Great Fish. Hardy, intelligent and VERY colorful. Very curious... Just as long as it has LOTS of rockwork to hide behind. It needs enough rock so it can hide and not be seen at all.

My Coral Beauty has not only survived, but thrived inspite of my mistakes and equiptment failures. We had a power outage this past winter and lost 5 fish and numerous corals, but my Beauty never got wore down. Hardiness is an understatement.
