In plain words: The coral beauty is a small angelfish. It is dark blue and purple, with bright orange or yellow stripes on its sides. Its fins have shiny blue edges. Some are mostly blue and some are mostly orange, so no two look the same.

About the Coral Beauty Angelfish

Coral beauties are tough, colorful and adaptable, making them the go-to first angelfish. They graze on film algae and accept most prepared foods.

Like other dwarf angels they may sample soft corals or clam mantles.
