The Lemonpeel Angelfish (Centropyge flavissima) is a small but vibrant species that adds a brilliant pop of sunny yellow to any marine aquarium. Its striking appearance features a solid lemon-yellow body with a distinctive blue ring around its eye and on the tips of its dorsal and anal fins. Known for its exceptional hardiness and active personality, the Lemonpeel Angelfish is an excellent choice for beginner and experienced hobbyists alike. It loves to dart in and out of rockwork, providing constant movement and a lively energy to your tank.
