Multi-Colored Angel

The Multicolor angelfish (Centropyge Multicolor) comes from deeper waters of depths of up to 200 feet in the wild. So named because of the myriad of colors this fish has. Its body is white while its chest has a patch mixed with yellow, orange and red. Its dorsal and anal fins are a dark blue while its tail is yellow. Its most striking feature is a small ring of blue and purple on its head that is also seen on the much rare Centropyge Nahackyi. Like the flame angelfish (Centropyge Loriculus), it is collected from the Marshall Islands, Cook Islands and Fiji.

In the wild, dwarf angelfish are all grazers. Like surgeon fish, they scan the rock throughout the day for food. They feed on small crustaceans, algae of various types. A well balanced diet should be given in a saltwater aquarium. A wide range of foods should be given, variety is important. Feeding them a specific food for too long can be detrimental to their health. Although there are some hobbyists that feed them new life spectrum pellets for prolonged periods of time with no ill effects. They were all very healthy in fact.

They should be fed a frozen food that has both meat and algae (Formula One, Formula Two),  as well as a pellet from a reputable brand like New Life Spectrum.  Another great  food for dwarf angels is the Pygmy Angel Formula by Ocean Nutrition. In an effort to provide a balanced and nutritious diet, a wide variety of ingredients are used such as kelp, shrimp, vitamins and trace minerals, krill, squid, algae and many others. Prior to freezing, the cubes are mixed with these ingredients.
