The Peppermint Angelfish is the undisputed holy grail of rare and exotic reef fish. We’ve written at length about what makes Paracentropyge boylei special, and every account of this species both in the wild, and in the aquarium world.
Since it’s been a while since we’ve had a peppermint angelfish in the headlines, we just wanted to share with you this short video clip of a curious young P. boylei from Blue Harbor Japan. Despite being a shy and reclusive fish, this well-conditioned aquarium specimen of peppermint angelfish takes a moment to inspect the camera, giving us a short fleeting glimpse at the dramatic color and pattern of this demi-god angelfish.
