Atlantic Pygmy Angel
Atlantic Pygmy Angel, Centropyge argi, is found living within the safety of live rock in the Western Atlantic. Though members of the genus Centropyge are referred to as dwarf angels because of their small size (generally three to six inches in length), the Pygmy Cherub is undoubtedly on the smaller end of this size range. Dwarf angels are generally very peaceful fish with the exception of members of their own species and possibly genus if they look enough alike. Provide dwarf angels with a balanced diet containing algae and sponge, which are readily available as prepared or frozen foods. Another addition to the aquarium that will benefit dwarf angels is live rock. It provides a great source of food as well as hiding places.
