The Fireball Dwarf Angelfish is a striking and active marine fish, boasting a deep midnight-blue body with a fiery orange face and tail. Its compact size and bold coloration make it a favorite choice for reef enthusiasts and community tanks.

Origin:
Found throughout the Western Indian Ocean, including East Africa, Madagascar, and the Maldives.
