I received a tiny captive-bred coral beauty for my birthday 18 months ago, and it has grown into a gorgeous, brightly-coloured specimen. It’s active all over the tank (325G) and a champion eater. I do have a question - I’ve noticed that mature specimens tend to look slightly faded. Is this natural, or perhaps diet-related in an aquarium? Excellent video! 👍🏻
There is a slight fading of colour as the Coral beauty gets older, however there are lots of geographical variants in the hobby, some of which are much less bright than others. It’s possible you were looking at a less bright variant. Cam
I really like Centropyge and am thinking of adding a couple to my 600g. I have plenty of rock work for them to hide. They’re one of those “reef caution” fish. Do they like to eat sponges Cam?
