Colin's Angelfish - Tank Raised (Centropyge colini)

Why it is a Collector's Vault fish: Also known as the Cocos-Keeling Angelfish, Colin's Angelfish lives on deep reef slopes from about 66 to 330 feet down, and it rarely appears in the aquarium trade. This is a tank-raised fish, a rare chance to own this deep-water dwarf angel already conditioned to aquarium life. Its bright yellow body with a deep blue back is unmistakable.
