Apolemichthys kingi, also known as King Angelfish or more common the Tiger Angelfish, is endemic to the east coast (Indian Ocean) of South Africa (Natal) and Mozambique. These exceedingly beautiful Angelfish is a generally rare species that inhabits seaward reefs. Les is known about the King Angelfish. As most of the genus, Apolemichthys kingi are omnivores, in the wild they feed primarily on sponges and tunicates, but there is little data on their entire diet. As we know Apolemichthys kingi was never seen in trade (Europe).
Remarks:
Most large angelfish are well known for nipping at large-polyped stony corals and some soft corals as well as tridacnid clam mantles.
