Scientific name: Apolemichthys
Apolemichthys is a genus of marine angelfish commonly found in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific. Members of this genus are known for their striking coloration and patterns, which make them popular among reef aquarium enthusiasts. They typically require larger aquariums with plenty of hiding places and live rock for grazing. A varied diet is crucial for their health, including marine algae, meaty foods, and specialized angelfish preparations. Some species may nip at stony and soft corals, so they should be chosen carefully for a reef tank.
