Known for its striking, fiery orange body and deep blue face, this dwarf angelfish captivates with both its beauty and lively personality. Native to the reefs of the Indo-Pacific, especially around Mauritius and Madagascar, the Fireball Angelfish thrives in well-established marine tanks with ample live rock for grazing and hiding.

- Compatibility: Suited for community setups but may show aggression toward other dwarf angelfish.
