Holacanthus [Holacanthus]

Description

Holacanthus (angelfish) are among the most striking reef fish, with vivid colors and bold body markings that stand out even in busy habitats. Divers frequently encounter them cruising near coral heads or patrolling territories close to reef structure. Their confident, slow movements and bright appearance make them a favorite subject for underwater photography.
