Who has captive bred coral beauties or multicolours?

Who has pictures and videos of their captive bred coral beauties or multicolours. I'm interested in what the average colouration is.

Mine is wild caught.

Biota when I got her, and then only picture I could find from now when I got Biota Yellow Tang. Can't tell from wild caught color wise.

Biota. Look at my post history. I bought one last week.

By multicolour, do you mean Centropyge multicolour? I didn’t know these were captive bred yet.

In small quantities by RCT in the past and I don’t know if anyone still does them now but I really wouldn’t mind seeing them as a captive bred species again. In fact there’s very few Centropyge / Paracentropyge I don’t like altogether, and one of the few exceptions would be C. Flavicauda / C. Fisheri when there’s C. Argi, C. Acanthops, C. Aurantonotus and C. Resplendens in the same Xiphypops subgenus.

Among large angels I have a few I’ll probably never want to have, but for the most part I think each dwarf angel has its own beauty. If I had to pick a few I don’t want to keep, they would be: Multispinus, Flavipectoralis, and Flavicauda / Fisheri.

Couple from today. My camera doesn't capture the colors good as the yellow tang is bright yellow just like wild caught. I guess I should have shot from level instead of a downward angle, but when I do that the pictures are real blue.

 

[Zionas]

Nice are both eating everything you feed?

 

[old salt reefer]

Yes from day one. And they went straight into display tank, no quarantine or treatment for a disease they don't have coming from Biota direct. It did take the tang a month or so before it started eating algae.

Nice nice

Is the Orange spot on the tang actually there or just from the angle? If it is there then do you think it could’ve been a side affect from being Captive Bred?

They are, but at my age I can't remember who's doing it or selling them. I think that's why they made Google.

I cant find anything online about them being captive bred currently, the majority of it seems to be from 2018.

No it's not there. It looks just like one straight out of the ocean, bright yellow. I do feed LRS frozen nano frenzy that every other day I soak in RedSea AB+ coral food with a couple of drops of Selcon on it. It looks better under white light, the early morning blue light kinda washes out the color. The downward angle didn't help. It did take a couple of months to color up from when I got it from Biota(was only 1.25 inches long).

I know I saw some for sale not long ago as it was a toss up if I bought one or the yellow tang. The 2 things against it were it wasn't Biota(little to no need to quarantine) and I didn't know how my Coral Beauty would take to it(like it or kill it). Didn't go well with the tang as my male yellow tail damsel attached the tang. He came out but not before my rock work broke trying to take it out and broke half my corals I'd been growing for years. Did get a ton of new frags though.

My dream Angel is a Multicolor but over here as we have so few CB fish it’s must likely if wind up going wild caught which I don’t mind too much as I would try to give the fish a slightly better life (As best as it gets in a box). My issue is currently my tank is a RS max nano so I haven’t gone for it even though I’ve seen several healthy 1 inch specimens for sale.

So it has more of the orange colouration on the body? I prefer the ones with more blue/purple

Hoping for this type of colouration if i go with coral beauties

I believe that is a colour variant. This fish seems to vary in colour depending on its origin unlike some others that don’t appear to vary depending on origin.

Coral beauty's definitely have a wide range of colors and morphs.

I am personally partial to the yellow looking ones. Used to be able to get these ones from Blue Zoo for like $30 but now someone would probably slap a rare name on it and charge $$$
