Centropyge bicolor

Centropyge bicolor, commonly known as the Bicolor angelfish, is one of the larger dwarf angelfishes. They also have the bodyshape of a large Holacanthus angel and not the rounded fins seen in most other Centropyge. The front half of their body is bright yellow and the back half is blue (as juveniles with some dark vertical stripes) with usually a thin yellow rim around the dorsal fin. The caudal fin is bright yellow again and on their head they’ve a ‘crown’ patch as see in many large angelfishes. In juveniles this patch is black but it will become blue the older they get.

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. C. bicolor is usually considered one of the riskier dwarf angels. They can be hard to feed, can be quite dominant sometimes and is reported to nip/eat corals more often than other species. Keeping them well fed seems to reduce the risk, so make sure to feed them a proper varied diet of algae and meaty foods, but this species will probably be enjoyed more in a fish-only tank.
