Try searching google.com for images, I found a bunch. Looks like a C. argi with a yellow tail to me

wetwebmedia.com says it's one of the smallest dwarf angels..."a couple of inches".


As far as reef safeness, I have no clue. FWIW, I've never even seen one of these buggers up here in the USA.

Pretty fish... I think the croc hunter would say. "Shes a good lookin sheila mate!"

I've never kept, but if I recollect they're pretty hardy little fishes. Try searching my siggie link on that species, see what the Bobster has to say.

Minimum Tank Size: The Pygmy Cherub Angel prefers a tank of at least 20 gallons with plenty of places to hide & swim.
