Centropyge bispinosa – Dusky Angelfish

Centropyge bispinosa, commonly known as the dusky angelfish, is a colorful and peaceful dwarf angelfish, ideal for a well-structured reef aquarium. It features a vibrant orange body adorned with fine wavy purple stripes. Its head, anal, and caudal fins are also an intense blue-violet, giving it a look that is both sober and vibrant.

A flexible and adaptable behavior

The Centropyge bispinosa can live alone, in pairs, or in small groups. Native to the coral reefs of South Asia and Oceania, it thrives at mid-depths and enjoys rocky areas rich in hiding spots. It is a polygynous fish that spawns in open water, with no parental care.

Reef Compatibility

This angelfish is peaceful towards its conspecifics and can coexist with other calm fish. It may sometimes nibble on some coral polyps, especially soft or LPS corals, but this generally has no consequence in a well-balanced tank.
