Dwarf Angelfish are a subset of Angelfish that tend to remain relatively small, especially compared to other Angelfish. They tend to be peaceful with other fish in the tank with the exception of other Angelfish.

While sometimes reef-compatible, many Angelfish species may tend to nip at corals and other small invertebrate. If your tank has a lot of smaller coral frags, it's best to avoid most angelfish altogether.
