Emperor Angelfish
Pomacanthus imperator
Adults inhabit clear coral reefs, steep reef faces, and lagoons across the Indo-Pacific. They use strong jaws to feed chiefly on sponges, tunicates, and algae, often patrolling established territories. Mature fish develop the iconic blue-and-yellow horizontal stripes and can reach roughly 40 centimetres in length.
