Centropyge is a genus of ray-finned fish, marine angelfish belonging to the family Pomacanthidae found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean.

[2] These species do not exceed 15 cm in length and live in haremic structures with one dominant male and multiple females.

Like many other reef fish and all marine angelfish, the species in this genus are protogynous hermaphrodite, meaning that they start their adult lives as females and the dominant individual in a group can change to a male within days.

[3] This genus prefer matured reef tanks due to the usually high water quality and the often used "live rock".

[4] This is also in the interest of the aquarist, as underfed Centropyge angels may nip at corals and sessile invertebrates.
