Diet Requirements: Largely herbivorous in the wild, they will also feed on sponges. Offer a diet of frozen shrimps, angel specific frozen foods, herbivorous foods such as Spirulina, Chlorella, and marine sheet algae, a high quality marine flake or pellet, and other enriched frozen foods for optimal health, color, and longevity.
Care Requirements: They require a minimum 75 gallon aquarium with lots of hiding places, and live rock for grazing. One of the more aggressive members of the genus, the Half Black Angel is best kept as the only dwarf angelfish in the aquarium. The Centropyge genus includes some of the best angelfish for a reef system. Take caution however, as this angel may eat soft coral polyps, clams, and zoanthids. Recommended water conditions, 72-78° F, KH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, salinity 1.020-1.025.
