Apolemichthys xanthopunctatus X griffisi is a hybrid between Apolemichthys xanthopunctatus and Apolemichthys griffisi. and is a medium-large angelfish. It looks very similar to the more well-known Apolemichthys trimaculatus. We’ve not yet seen an adult individual so we don’t know how these will turn out exactly but imagine a cross between the two animals.
In nature they feed mainly on sponges and tunicates. This is also why wild caught specimens are hard to wean to the food we give in our aquaria. They transition easiest to a tank with a lot of sponges in it. Tank bred fish are a way easier to keep with this fish! Once adapted they're real omnivores eating anything from algae to meaty foods like mussel and shrimp, but probably need some sponges in their diet as well to really thrive. This fish also known to nibble on hard and soft corals as well as clam mantles, so certainly not reef safe!
This fish is Tank Bred and will adapt to your aquarium easier compared to wild caught specimens as mentioned before!
