skinz78-albums-r2r-fish-database-angelfish-picture12265-scan0004.jpg



SCIENTIFIC NAME - Centropyge potteri

COMMON NAME - Potter's Angel

SIZE - 5.1" (13 cm)

MINIMUM AQUARIUM SIZE - 20 US gal (76 L)

FOODS AND FEEDING - Spirulina and marine algae, Mysid shrimp, high quality meaty marine
foods. Can be reluctant to feed and may starve in new or barren
tanks, usually accepts frozen preparations after a few days and
will pick at diatoms on glass and decor. Feed 2-3 times a day
ideally.

REEF COMPATABILITY - May be aggressive to soft corals, nip large polyp stony coral,
Zoanthids, and clam mantles.

CAPTIVE CARE - Endemic to Hawaiian Islands. Provide plenty of hiding places (live rock, etc) that provide a natural setting where it can forage for algae and tiny invertebrates. After established may become aggressive towards same genus and fish introduced after, especially in small tanks.
