Centropyge multispinis

Centropyge multispinnis, commonly known as the Dusky angelfish, is one of the larger dwarf angelfish. They've the typical Centropyge body shape and look like a dark version of C. bispinosa, making them one of the least colourful dwarf angelfishes. Which is unfortunate because it’s easy to keep and relatively reef safe.

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. As said before they are hardy and relatively reef safe, although some individuals can always nip more than you want to. 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!
