Marine Angelfish • Display Species • Deepwater Beauty • Central Pacific Rarity
 
📋 The Griffis Angelfish (Apolemichthys griffisi) is a distinctive deepwater angelfish recognized by its pale silver body, black horizontal stripe, and bold white lower band. Its elegant pattern and calm demeanor make it a collector’s favorite and a true statement species for large marine aquariums.
Native to deeper reef slopes and ledges, this species thrives in mature aquariums with stable water parameters and abundant live rock for grazing. It is peaceful for its size and can coexist with most semi-aggressive fish in large setups.
Juveniles exhibit similar markings to adults but with sharper contrast, softening as they mature. This fish’s unique beauty and rarity have earned it a place among the most sought-after angelfish in the Apolemichthys genus.
