Reef Safe with Caution
The Rusty Angelfish, also known as the Rusty Dwarf Angelfish, is a captivating marine fish noted for its rich, rusty orange coloration accented with small blue dots along its sides and fins. This dwarf angelfish is a popular choice for reef aquariums due to its striking appearance and relatively hardy nature. Although it is considered reef safe with caution, the Rusty Angelfish may nip at soft corals and small invertebrates, particularly if underfed. To minimize this behavior, it is important to provide a diet rich in algae and offer ample live rock for grazing and hiding. The Rusty Angelfish is an active swimmer, well-suited for tanks with plenty of hiding spots and a stable environment, making it an appealing and manageable addition for aquarists with moderate experience.
