General Husbandry: Is thought to be a hybrid of Apolemichthys trimaculatus and Apolemichthys xanthurus. Very rarely ever seen in the hobby, and when so, was not a specimen purposely collected. Shown here for identification purpose. Should you have more information on this species, share it with me so I may post it for others to see.
