Care notes

Most popular dwarf angelfish. May nip at LPS corals and clam mantles; individual variation—some are reef-safe, others are not. Needs lots of live rock to graze.

Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
