The Coral Beauty angelfish is omnivorous, which means… they eat lots of different foods. Their diet naturally is dominated by vegetable matter, but also tiny invertebrates. Feed them a diet based on algae and spirulina and also include occasional meaty foods like brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. These fish are very active and can eat small portions several times each day.
My absolute favorite food for my tank is live blood worms. My coral beauty greedily eats them. Other routine foods are: frozen mysis shrimp , frozen brine shrimp , spirulina flakes , Formula II pellets , and the occasional nori sheet s. At a few different times over the years, I have kept the Coral Beauty with no problems at all. However, there are some reports of territoriality and aggression.
Most dwarf angelfish are aggressive towards other dwarf angelfish, that much is given. However, there are also some reports of aggression with smaller species, as well.
Due to their varied dietary needs, there are also reports of Coral Beauty angelfish picking on the mantle of clams or eating soft fleshy coral polyps like your prized zoanthids.
These are the most common ailments in Coral Beauty Angelfish. They can also get infected by fungus and bacteria. They are more prone to such infections after they undergo parasitic diseases such as Marine Ich and Marine Velvet. To treat both diseases increase the temperature slowly to the maximum your fish can handle when in quarantine tank but before that give them freshwater dips of 5 to 15 minutes depending on the signs of stress.
And use the copper-based medication by following the instructions. Marine Velvet is a serious disease and you should not waste any time if you observe signs of this disease.
Plan ahead and decide how many Coral Beauty Angelfish you would like to keep. Introducing a new member down the line is not a good idea. Because they get along well with other members, only if they grow up together. Semi-aggressive, aggressive and large semi-aggressive fish are all safe to keep with a Coral Beauty. Like Tangs, Dottybacks, Clownfish, and Damselfish, etc.
Even large predatory fish are safe as long as their mouth is not large enough to fit a Coral Beauty. Peaceful fish can be kept with a Coral Beauty Angelfish provided that your tank has enough room. Slow swimming fish like Mandarin fish and Seahorses will be safe to keep.
After acclimating to their new aquarium, they become antagonistic towards newcomers of peaceful species. How about corals and invertebrates? Some individuals will like to nip at soft corals and clam mantles and harm invertebrates no matter how good you feed them.
You can pair them according to their size and hope that they become a couple. Even if they become a couple you have a tiny chance to breed them. A quite large and deep tank is required and only one pair should be isolated in this breeding tank. They must be fed with rich nutritious foods frequently. Meanwhile, pay attention to lighting and provide enough darkness. It may take weeks or years or forever for them to mate.
If they do mate, the female will spawn. This is another reason to have an additional fish tank dedicated to breeding. I wasn't home when it happened and found it dried out on the floor in front of the tank. Mine generated lots of peaceful activity in the tank and didn't bother any of the other fish. He was friends with the Yellow Tang and they swam frequently together. Mine was not picky about foods and would eat everything we offered - ocean nutrition flakes, frozen brine shrimp, frozen marine cuisine, etc.
I will be getting a replacement very soon. From: Mike I've bred my coral beauties in captivity and I am having a hard time just getting the larvae. I get about eggs a night over 3 nights, then a break for a night or two as the female generates another batch. Anybody have any info in rearing Angel babies? There doesn't seem to be much information available online, but you can get some ideas by reading through some breeder reports at the breeder's registry under Centropyge. From: Jake I've had my Coral Beauty for about a month or so now.
At first, he was extremely scared and hid behind the live rock. But, after about a week, he came out more. Now whenever someone comes into my room, he comes out to see who came in, then flips his tail and swims from one end of the tank to the other.
He has a great personality. He doesn't bother any of my mushroom corals and he is extremely easy to care for. From: Holly Caldwell I just got my beautiful coral beauty and so far she is very peaceful and even swims with my 3 stripe damsels. She won't take the spirulina tablets I stick to the aquarium wall and just picks at the algae growing on the glass and ignores the nice green algae on my live rock. I am praying this is just because she is settling in.
What a gorgeous fish she is! They may go after flakes too. It's worth trying herbivore flakes or flake foods with lots of greens in them. It may take a few days for them to feel comfortable and they should be out and about.
