Description
Description
The Shepard’s Angelfish (Centropyge shepardi) is a rare and captivating dwarf angelfish species known for its warm orange coloration blended with violet to bluish hues along the fins and upper body. This species is less commonly seen in the trade, making it a prized addition for collectors.
Peaceful when young, it can become territorial toward other dwarf angelfish as it matures. Its compact size and striking color make it an ideal showpiece for established reef systems — provided coral compatibility is monitored.
