Barred angelfish Profile

The Barred angelfish (Centropyge multifasciata) is a small marine fish distinguished by its striking black and white vertical stripes. It originates from the Western Pacific, particularly around the areas of the Philippines, Indonesia, and Palau. Typically growing to around 10 cm in length, its body is laterally compressed with a round, angelfish-typical shape. It is somewhat popular in the aquarium hobby due to its vibrant pattern and relatively small size, making it a desirable species for reef aquariums. However, care should be taken as it can be sensitive to water quality and may require a well-established tank with plenty of hiding spaces.
