Scientific Name: Apolemichthys xanthopunctatus

Common Name(s) Goldflake Angel, Gold-Speckled Angelfish, Gold-spangled Angelfish

Size: Up to 10 inches

Minimum Aquarium size. Will need a tank of at least 100 gallons. Smaller tanks will do while the fish is young.

Feeding: Rod's food, Nori, and mysid shrimp. Established live rock will help, as they eat sponge.

Captive care: A somewhat shy fish, it will get bolder in time. Quite the persistent coral nipper. Will likely devour most zoas, palys, and LPS.

And they seem to be in season at the moment. Quiet pricey though but worth it imo!
