Favorite Centropyge?

[alton]

Flame Angel, fairly easy to pair. Mine lay eggs quite often

 

[solitude127]

Mulitbar, venustus and flame. I currently have a pair of flames in my 150g sps dominant tank.

Rare and expensive: Centropyge boylei, Centropyge interruptus, Centropyge abei, Centropyge debelius
More affordable: Paracentropyge multifasciata, Centropyge aurantia, Paracentropyge venustus, Centropyge potteri

I have a Flame, Lemon Peel & a Coral Beauty in my 185gl

This thread desperately needs pics!

Potters is my favorite. Don't have one now, wouldn't put it or any other centropyge in my system because of nipping.

I once said sod it and put a bicolour in my reef. The only thing it nipped on was favias, so I got rid of them. It's probably the least reef safe angel but I love them and you only live once. Would never recommend one to anyone with corals but with any angel you need to take the chance.

If I was going to do a harem it would be with African flamebacks.

Here's mine, waiting on my Macro lens to arrive for better pics.

Hi all,

Wondering what your favorite Centropyge angels are. Looking to include a pair of Centropyge in an 8' tank.

Thanks
Drew

In terms of all around bang for buck the Coral Beauty is tough to beat. The Flame is beautiful but mine was a jerk and a coral nipper to boot.

Coral Beauty. Have had the best luck with them. Plus they look great.

Tigerpyge Angel (Centropyge eibli x flavissimus)

Lemon Peal then Coral Beauty! I just wish they were reef safe.

 

[NeuroticAquatics]

I’d love to get one of the hybrid Lemonpeels. There are some really cool variants.

Centropyge interruptus

This is also the one I've fallen for hard, but may never own. The $3K price tag is painful enough. And then, there's the wide variation in appearance of specimens and the unlikelihood that you'd wind up with the 'perfect male' specimen shown in all the photos unless you happen to live in Japan (nor would you necessarily want one that had just been caught in the wild at that size.) But the real deal killer at present is that it's not a tropical water species, and I would have to run a chiller to keep the water at 75F or preferably quite a bit lower.

Tigerpyge Angel (Centropyge eibli x flavissimus)

These are nice. I don't think I've ever seen one offered though.

Some pictures of centropyge shepardi

It is so hard to capture its beautiful, vibrant orange. It is one of the most intensely beautiful hues of orange I have ever seen in person.

Here it is now, growing bigger and brighter everyday!

Melas (keyhole) angel (a little large for a dwarf angel at max size, but that is what they are recognized as online). Flame Angel or Potters for color.
