Multibarred AngelfishOther Common Names
Barred Angelfish
Species Description
The Multibarred Angelfish is not often collected and, when it is, never in abundance. It is sometimes placed in the Paracentropyge genus depending upon which taxonomy book you are reading. It does look much different than other Centropyge Angelfish with a deeper body and less dorsal spines so a different genus grouping might be needed. It has a poor survival rate unless it is provided with plenty of live rock to graze upon and hide in. It is one of the least aggressive in the genus and will not do well in aquariums with more aggressive tank mates. It will do best as the only dwarf Angelfish in the tank. If kept in aquariums with coral, know that they are very prone to picking at meaty LPS corals like Elegance or Tooth corals. They will completely ignore non-sessile invertebrates such as shrimp and crabs.
