Queen Angelfish: Holacanthus ciliaris
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.
I photographed this Queen Angelfish in Roatan with my 60mm Macro lens and my Tussey housing, with two strobes. I love the results, and I will be going back for more!
