The Multibar Angelfish—sometimes called the Many-Banded Angelfish—is a strikingly distinct dwarf species that stands out from its cousins due to its unique pattern. It features a bright white-to-cream body wrapped in bold, clean, vertical black bars that run the entire length of its flank, with a brilliant splash of yellow brightening its lower belly and anal fins. This cryptic, cave-dwelling dwarf angel is natively found in deep outer reef slopes, meaning it requires a peaceful tank with dim lighting options and intricate rockwork to feel secure enough to graze openly.
