The Half Black Angelfish (Centropyge vrolikii) is a small, hardy dwarf angelfish popular in saltwater aquariums. It has a striking appearance, with the front half of its body silvery-white and the back half a deep black, often with hints of blue on the fins. Growing up to about 4 inches, it adapts well to reef tanks but may nip at corals, especially soft and LPS types. This angelfish is relatively peaceful compared to other angelfish species and can be kept singly or as a pair in tanks of 55 gallons or larger. It thrives on a diet of algae, spirulina, mysis shrimp, and other meaty foods, making it both an attractive and manageable addition to a marine system.
