Centropyge flavissima (Lemonpeel Angelfish)
The Lemonpeel Angelfish is one of the most underrated dwarf angelfish in the marine aquarium hobby. Known for its intense, electric-yellow coloration accented by subtle light-blue highlights around the eyes, gill plates, and sometimes the lips, this species adds instant brightness and contrast to any reef or fish-only system.
Lemonpeel Angelfish remain relatively small, reaching a maximum size of about 5 inches, though most individuals stay slightly smaller in home aquariums. Like other dwarf angelfish, they benefit greatly from a thoughtful introduction—the use of an acclimation box is strongly recommended to reduce aggression and allow tankmates to adjust.
This species is considered reef safe with caution. When provided a varied, nutrient-rich diet and regular feeding schedule, many individuals coexist well in reef aquariums. However, as with all Centropyge angels, coral-nipping behavior is possible and should be monitored closely, particularly with fleshy LPS and soft corals.
Best kept in:
Established aquariums with stable water parameters
Systems with ample rockwork for grazing and shelter
Tanks where feeding is consistent and varied
The Lemonpeel Angelfish is an excellent option for aquarists seeking bold color, manageable size, and classic dwarf angelfish personality, making it a standout addition when housed in the right environment.

Pomacanthus 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.
