Centropyge colini

Centropyge colini, commonly known as the Colin’s angelfish, is a small and colourful angelfish. They've the typical Centropyge body shape, with a bright yellow body with one blue patch from above the eyes till halfway of the dorsal fin.

Like all other angelfish it's hermphroditic and the most dominant fish will turn into a male when there is no other male around. These fish are quite shy (in nature and in an aquarium) so try not to combine them with dominant, large or very active fish and make sure ample hiding spots are available. Because C. colini is a rare and shy species less is known compared to most other angelfishes. They generally don’t seem to do large damage to corals, but might pick on certain corals more than the coral likes. Feed them small live/frozen food like copepods and daphnia and make sure there is enough algae available for them to graze on to keep them healthy!
