Fast Facts

Not often around and never plentiful, be sure to grab one fast when available! A resident of East African reefs, the African Flameback Angel is a beautiful species that is a little hardier than some members of the genus. Once fully adjusted to the aquarium, these little angels aren't the least bit shy in the right environment. Like all pygmy angels, it does best in tanks containing live rock and/or plenty of algae.
