FRENCH ANGELS: BAHAMAS REEF FISH (15)
JUVENILE FRENCH ANGELFISH – BLACK WITH YELLOW BANDS
The French angelfish Pomacanthus paru is found in the western Atlantic and in parts of the eastern Atlantic. They are mainly seen around shallow reefs, often in pairs. They feed on sponges, algae, soft corals and small invertebrates.
ADULT FRENCH ANGELFISH
Juveniles are extremely useful members of the reef fish community, providing cleaning stations. They service many species including jacks, snappers, morays, grunts, surgeonfishes, and wrasses, removing parasites.
Angelfish are monogamous, and defend their territory robustly. They swim around the reef during the day but at night they shelter in so-called ‘hiding spots’, which they return to each evening.

That’s kind, Mark. You are quite right: without Melinda, her camera and her scuba gear my fish posts would be very different. Little dark blurry things taken with a tiny handheld waterproof camera while trying not to choke on my snorkel. Not my best element… RH
