The Flame Angelfish is one of the most popular of the dwarf angelfish, a bold red/orange color with vertical black stripes highlighting the body and horizontal black stripes along the caudal portions of the blue-tipped dorsal and anal fins; coloration varies by collection location, with Marshall Island fish redder with thicker bars, Christmas Island fish red/orange with thin bars, Cebu fish with undefined bars and yellow tints, and Tahiti fish blood red. It requires at least a 70 gallon aquarium with lots of hiding places and live rock for grazing, is prone to nip at stony and soft corals and clam mantles, should be the last fish introduced to a peaceful community, and should be housed in an established system with dissimilar genera; it is very sensitive to copper above 0.15 ppm; feed Spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, mysis or frozen shrimp, and other high-quality meaty items.
