Centropyge flavicauda

ℹ️ Overview

The Pacific pygmy angelfish (Centropyge flavicauda) is a small, brightly colored marine fish predominantly found in the Western Pacific Ocean. It displays vivid hues, with a primary coloration of blue or violet, accented by a distinctive yellow tail which lends to its common name. This species typically features a compact, laterally compressed body shape characteristic of angelfish. Despite its striking appearance, Centropyge flavicauda is not as well known or commonly kept in the aquarium hobby compared to other angelfish species, partly due to its specific care requirements and limited availability.
