Centropyge flavissima

Centropyge flavissima, commonly known as the Lemonpeel angelfish, is a medium-sized and colourful angelfish. They've the typical Centropyge body shape, and almost enirely bright yellow body. As juveniles they've a black spot with a blue rim on their body, but this dissappears when they mature. As adults they're all lemon yellow with only a blue rim around their eyes, fins and gillcover.

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 peaceful but be careful combining them with fish a lot smaller or larger and other (dwarf)angelfishes. Although dwarf angels are certainly more likely to be reef safe compared to their larger relatives and thus seen more often in reef tank, they're always a risk. Flavissima are one of the least safe options and are known to pick on LPS, soft corals and clam mantles, so keep this in mind before introducing them into a reef tank. Keeping them well fed seems to reduce the risk so make sure to feed them a proper varied diet of algae and meaty foods to make them really happy!
