Description
The Cocopeel Angelfish is a stunning dwarf angelfish known for its vibrant solid yellow body, accented by a bright blue ring around its eye and blue trim on its gill plate and caudal fin. This shy and reclusive species prefers a mature aquarium with ample live rock for hiding and grazing. It can be territorial towards other dwarf angelfish or similar-looking species.
