Description
The Woodhead's Angelfish is a vibrant dwarf angelfish featuring a bright yellow body with a distinctive black saddle on its back, often outlined in iridescent blue. This hardy species is a beautiful addition to a marine aquarium, though it can exhibit territorial behavior towards other angelfish or similar-sized fish.
