Queen angelfish
Holacanthus ciliaris
Adult queen angelfish inhabit warm western Atlantic coral reefs, usually cruising through clear water around reef structure. They feed chiefly on sponges and tunicates, supplementing this diet with algae and other small attached animals. Adults are often territorial, and the vivid blue crown-like marking on the forehead gives the species its common name.
