Colin’s Angelfish
Centropyge colini (Colin’s Angelfish)
The Colin’s Angelfish is a charming and highly sought-after dwarf angelfish known for its vibrant yellow body and electric blue accents. The bold blue dorsal fin gives this species a distinctive “mohawk” look—adding personality and flair that’s sure to stand out in any reef aquarium.
Wild-caught Colin’s Angelfish have long been rare in the aquarium trade due to their limited natural range. Unfortunately, they are also notoriously difficult to acclimate, often struggling with poor appetite and long-term survival in captivity.
Captive-bred Colin’s Angelfish, however, are a completely different experience. Raised in aquariums from birth, these individuals are significantly hardier, already accustomed to prepared foods such as marine pellets and frozen offerings, and far better adapted to life in home aquariums.
Even with these advantages, this species remains sensitive to unstable or fluctuating water parameters, immature systems, and poor water quality. Colin’s Angelfish thrive best in very mature, stable aquariums with ample live rock for grazing, shelter, and security.
Best kept in:
-
Very mature, well-established aquariums
-
Stable systems with excellent water quality
-
Tanks with abundant rockwork and hiding spaces
The Colin’s Angelfish is an outstanding choice for aquarists seeking a rare, personality-packed dwarf angelfish with improved captive success—when given the mature environment it requires.
Best kept in:
-
Very mature, well-established reef aquariums
-
Stable systems with excellent water quality
-
Tanks with abundant rockwork and peaceful tankmates
The Regal Angelfish is an exceptional choice for experienced aquarists seeking a show-quality angelfish with improved captive success—when housed in the right environment and given proper care.

ORA Orchid Dottyback
Quick View$45.00Pseudochromis fridmani – The Orchid Dottyback is a striking reef fish known for its brilliant, electric purple body and contrasting black eye stripe. Native to the Red Sea, this species has become a favorite among reef aquarists for its bold color and manageable temperament.
Unlike many other dottybacks, P. fridmani is notably more peaceful, making it one of the more community-friendly choices within its genus. While it may chase very small shrimp in tight spaces, it usually leaves other fish, corals, and invertebrates alone. It may fight with conspecifics or similar looking species. In fact, it can be a useful addition for helping control populations of unwanted pests like bristle worms.
Captive-bred by ORa, these dottybacks are weaned onto pellets and flakes, and readily accept frozen foods such as Mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and chopped seafood. They are hardy, reef safe, and well-suited to both small and larger aquariums with adequate rockwork and hiding spots.

ORA Aiptasia Eating Filefish
Quick View$70.00Acreichthys tomentosus – Aiptasia Eating Filefish aka Matted Filefish are an incredibly helpful species of filefish. They are called the Aiptasia Eating Filefish because of their propensity to eat nuisance anemones which plague most home aquariums like Aiptasia, majano anemones, and some types of hydroids. They do not require Aiptasia and will eat most aquarium foods. These interesting little filefish have the ability to change coloration and blend in with their surroundings rapidly, making it fun to watch them roam around the tank.
This species is reef safe with caution, as some individuals may nip at soft corals, zoas, SPS polyps, fleshy LPS corals, clam mantles, and/or tiny ornamental shrimp. They do well in tanks 30 gallons or larger and are peaceful toward other fish species. They are territorial with their own kind, but can be kept in pairs. It’s easy to sex these fish as adults because the males have clear bristles on the caudal peduncle near the base of the tail, giving this fish its other common name of Bristletail Filefish.

Cortez Angelfish 1″
Quick View$250.00Pomacanthus zonipectus (Cortez Angelfish)
The Cortez Angelfish is a unique and eye-catching species native to the Eastern Pacific. While wild-caught specimens can be challenging to acclimate, these captive-bred juveniles are far better suited for life in home aquariums, offering improved hardiness and long-term success.
As juveniles, Cortez Angelfish display brilliant yellow and electric blue striations running along the body, making them exceptionally striking at smaller sizes. As they mature, this vibrant juvenile pattern gradually transitions into a more subdued green-blue adult coloration, highlighted by a bold yellow stripe extending over the gill plate.
This species is not reef safe. Cortez Angelfish are known to pick at corals and clam mantles and are best kept in fish-only or FOWLR systems where their natural behaviors won’t pose a risk to ornamental invertebrates.
Best kept in:
-
Fish-only or FOWLR aquariums
-
Mature systems with stable water parameters
-
Tanks with ample swimming space and rockwork
The Cortez Angelfish is an excellent choice for aquarists seeking a distinctive, captive-bred Pomacanthus species with striking juvenile coloration and long-term aquarium adaptability.
