Husbandry:
The Dwarf Flame Angel is a very brilliant and active fish. This angel will be a bold addition to any fish only tank without large fish or a reef. Care must be taken with the Flame Angel as well as other Dwarf Angels in reef systems. They typically coexist with corals fine, but sometimes they will pick a coral until they kill it. If you happen to notice the angel picking at a specific coral fairly often, it’s advisable to remove that coral before it kills it.
Dwarf Angels should be fed a varied diet that includes Spirulina as well as meaty foods. These angels are typically very accepting of any type of food offered.
It looks great.
