Description
Centropyge colini
Centropyge angels are favorite with hobbyists due to their small adult size, vibrant colorations and hardiness. The Colini Pygmy Angelfish is rarely seen in the hobby and is considered a deepwater species. Since they are found in deep water naturally, the Colini Pygmy prefers dimly lit aquariums, but can acclimate to brighter lighting settings over time. Like other dwarf angelfish, they can be aggressive with other angelfish and similarly shaped fish. These should take just about anything you want to feed them, but we suggest a varied diet, ideally fed at least 2 times per day. In the wild, they generally feed on a wide variety of algae, sponges, tunicates and other benthic organisms. Their natural diet also includes nipping on corals, so the Colini Pygmy is not considered reef safe. The Colini Pygmy Angel is found in the Indo-West Pacific in caves of the outer reef drop offs up to 100 meters deep.
