Species Description
Noted as far back in documents as 1912, the Potter’s Angelfish is only found in the Hawaiian Islands. The Potter’s Angelfish is tolerant of other dwarf Angelfish and will share territory providing suitable space is provided (150 gallons or more). It is one of the more shy and secretive dwarf Angelfish and often has difficulty adapting to captivity and a captive diet. They absolutely must be housed in aquariums utilizing live rock for filtration or decoration. They are constant grazers and will benefit from the added nutrition the live rock can provide. It is not known for picking at stony corals but may pick at soft corals such as leathers.

Diet
Feed a varied diet consisting of small chunks of meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam and mussel. It is also a good idea to occasionally supplement with some type of herbivore diet.
