False Lemonpeel Angelfish

False Lemonpeel Angelfish: A Brilliant Pop of Yellow for Your Tank

The False Lemonpeel Angelfish (Centropyge heraldi), also known as the Herald's Angelfish and the Yellow Angelfish, is a beautiful and exceptionally small species that adds a brilliant pop of solid yellow to any marine aquarium. It is highly sought after for its vibrant coloration and graceful swimming, without the blue markings found on the true Lemonpeel Angelfish. Known for its hardiness and active personality, the Herald's Angelfish is a great choice for both beginner and experienced hobbyists. It is a constant forager, exploring rockwork and adding a lively presence to your tank without overwhelming a small space.

Why the Herald's Angelfish is a Great Choice:

• Ideal for Smaller Tanks: Its compact size makes it one of the few angelfish suitable for nano reef aquariums.
• Vibrant Color: Its stunning, solid yellow coloration makes it a highly visible and attractive inhabitant.
• Exceptional Hardiness: This species is incredibly resilient and easy to care for, making it a perfect first angelfish.
• Generally Reef-Safe: While its behavior should be monitored, this species is a great candidate for many reef tanks and is less prone to nipping corals than larger angelfish.

Important Note: Like most dwarf angelfish, this species can be territorial, especially towards other angelfish. It is best to introduce it into a tank with a well-established aquascape to give it a place to hide and claim as its own.
