Fisher's Angelfish

Fisher's Angelfish is a charming dwarf angelfish native to the Hawaiian Islands and surrounding Central Pacific waters. It features a warm orange body with faint blue highlights along the edges of its dorsal and anal fins, giving it a subtle yet appealing appearance. Though not as flashy as some of its Centropyge relatives, this species is valued for its Hawaiian origin and relatively manageable care requirements.

In the wild, Fisher's Angelfish inhabits rocky reef slopes and rubble zones at moderate depths, typically between 10 and 60 meters. It is commonly found in small groups picking at algae and tiny organisms growing on rock surfaces. As a Hawaiian endemic species, it has a limited natural range, which contributes to its desirability among collectors who appreciate regional fish.

Fisher's Angelfish adapts reasonably well to captive conditions, especially when introduced to a well-established aquarium with mature live rock. It can be somewhat shy initially but becomes more confident once acclimated. As with most dwarf angelfish, there is a risk of coral nipping in reef aquariums, though this species is generally considered one of the less likely offenders within the genus.
