Photograph and Copyright by Jim Stime - 125 gallon reef tank

Common Name  - Multicolor Pygmy Angelfish

Scientific name  - Centropyge multicolor

Appearance  - Body color is divided between upper area being white and lower half being yellow. Rear dorsal and anal fins are dark black edged with bright blue. Blue and black patch directly over eye. Size range between 1 inch and 2 inches.

Location  -  Specimens are collected from Palau and Fiji islands.

Comments  - Once past acclimation this fish is very hardy and eats well. As with all centropyge it will feed on flake foods but will do much better on a variety of small bite-size frozen foods, such as mysis shrimp. These fish enjoy having access to hiding places as they are collected from outer reef zones and drop off areas. Tanks with live or decorative rock are great. Position the rock openly so as to create many passages.
