Species Description

Although some may say that the Brazilian Flameback Angelfish is disproportionately aggressive for its size, most people quickly fall in love with this very small fish. All of the dwarf-dwarf or pygmy Angelfish in the Centropyge genus are among the hardiest in the entire Angelfish family. They are very similar in color and shape to the African Flameback Angelfish (Centropyge acanthops). The biggest difference being the dark blue caudal fin of the Brazilian Flameback Angelfish. These fish are some of the best suited for a reef tank among the genus but caution should still be used when adding them to tanks with meaty brain type corals such as Cynarina spp. or Trachyphyllia spp. They are not known for picking at clam mantles but, again, caution is advised. They may occasionally chase or defend their territories against intruding non-sessile invertebrates like shrimp or crabs but will typically leave such invertebrates completely alone.
