Apolemichthys kingi
Angelfish come in a large array of colors, patterns and sizes that make them very sought-after. Unlike Centropyge angels, this genus is known for having large adult sizes. The Tiger Angel is a beautiful fish that can be the highlight of your display and is considered to be one of the 'holy grails' of angelfish, but they do require some specific care. This fish can be shy at first especially during acclimation, so providing a lot of hiding places will help reduce its stress. Because their natural diet is so varied, aquarists should always feed a diet that is similarly well rounded; it further means they are unsuitable for most “captive reef” style aquariums. In the wild, they generally feed on a wide variety of algae, sponges, tunicates and other benthic organisms. Their natural diet also includes nipping on corals, so the Tiger is not considered reef safe. They will grow to be about 10 inches in size and will need an aquarium of about 125 gallons when they are fully grown. The Tiger Angel are found in the Western Indian Ocean in seaward reefs up to 30 meters deep.
