Centropyge woodheadi

Centropyge woodheadi, commonly known as Woodhead's angelfish, is a medium-sized and colourful angelfish. They've the typical Centropyge body shape, and almost enirely bright yellow body with a large part of the rear of the dorsal fin black. In the unpaired fins you can see a bold scribbled pattern when you look very closely, similar to C. heraldi. This fish is also often considered a regional variant from C. heraldi.

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. Woodheadi are generally considered to be relatively reef safe, but can always nip/eat 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!
