Description
The Yellowhead Angelfish, also known as the Cherub Angelfish, is a small, vibrant marine fish with a striking yellow head and a deep blue body. This dwarf angelfish is a popular choice for reef aquariums due to its relatively small size and hardiness. While generally peaceful, it can be territorial towards other dwarf angelfish or similar-looking species.
