Common Name  -  Golden Pygmy Angelfish

Scientific name  -  Centropyge aurantia

Appearance  -  Orange body with burnt red vertical bars and a dark ring around the eyes.

Location  -  From New Guinea through to the Great Barrier Reef

Comments  -  Very secretive and shy fish. Should be kept with minimal, and peaceful, tank mates. Due to this fishes shyness I would suggest feeding nothing less than a variety of small bite-size frozen foods, such as mysis shrimp. These fish require hiding places !!! Tanks with live or decorative corals and rock are great. Position the rock openly so as to create many passages but do not expect to see this fish much..
