Woodheads Angelfish

(Centropyge woodheadi)

Centropyge Angelfish should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of room to swim. Plenty of rock work, caves, cracks and crevices should be provided for grazing and hiding. Centropyge Angelfish may pick at mobile and sessile invertebrates. A diet of marine meaty, angelfish and algae based foods should be provided multiple times daily. Care will need to be taken when handling Angelfish as they have cheeks pines, avoid using nets when handling. Centropyge Angelfish are hermaphroditic meaning they may have both sex organs at some point in their lives. May be territorial towards other Angelfish with the same shape, however if added to a large enough aquarium and at the same time Dwarf Angelfish may live harmoniously.

The Woodheads Angelfish is formerly known as the Black & Yellow Heraldi Angelfish. This stunning and superbly colored Dwarf Angelfish is mainly yellow with a back stripy on the rear portion of its dorsal fin. Half Black Angelfish can grow to 5".

We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 70 gallons or larger for this species.
