Centropyge heraldi - The Yellow Heraldi Angelfish or "False Lemonpeel Angelfish" is a dwarf angelfish species bred at our Biota Palau facility. It is bright yellow in coloration with faint orange markings and blue around the eyes. Some individuals have black edges on the fins, but this variety is entirely yellow. One of the larger Centropyge angelfish, this species grows to an impressive but manageable 4".

They are a "reef safe with caution" species so be sure to keep them fed on a wide variety of feeds that include Easy Reefs DKI pellets, Spirulina brine shrimp, frozen Calanus, and Angelfish specific preparations. Use caution when adding to a tank of other dwarf angelfish or similar looking species. We always recommend adding new fish with an acclimation box.

Cosmocampus elucens - The Shortfin Pipefish is a hardy pipefish species native to the seagrass beds of the Western Atlantic. This species is very similar to their seahorse cousins in appearance and behavior, and they make excellent seahorse tank mates. This species is highly variable in coloration, and they can even camouflage to match their surroundings.

Shortfin Pipefish are a demersal variety of pipefish, spending most of their time meandering around on the substrate and rocks. During feeding time, however, they become very lively and will free-swim in the water column hunting down frozen mysis shrimp. Pipefish are playful and socially engaging animals that make unique and wonderful pets.

Wild caught pipefish are extremely difficult to keep because they typically only eat live foods. Captive bred pipefish are raised on prepared foods, making them much easier to keep. They're quite hardy when provided with the proper seahorse-specific environment and care. Biota's captive bred pipefish are healthy and robust, being bred and raised in Biota's North Carolina facility by marine biologists with decades of seahorse experience.
