Cortez Angelfish: Pomacanthus zonipectus
Angelfish is a name used for several different fishes, including the true angelfishes, (Pomacanthidae) and the butterfly fishes (Chaetodontidae). Angelfishes differ from butterfly fishes in having a spine near the lower edge of the gill cover. These laterally compressed fishes are among the most beautiful of the tropical reef fishes. Most species are only a few centimeters long, but some grow to 24 inches. In many species the juveniles and adults are colored differently. The young French angelfish is black with bright yellow bands; the adult is mainly black. The queen angelfish is also differently colored as a juvenile. Like many other Angelfish, the Emperor Angel Pomacanthus imperator feeds upon sponges, tunicates, algae, and small invertebrates.
These beautiful angelfish in the Sea of Cortez are quite abundant and very colorful, with an almost neon yellow glow
