Angelfish [Holacanthus bermudensis]

Bermuda’s angelfish is a reef-dweller divers can recognize by its elegant, laterally compressed body and bright, clean-looking markings. It’s commonly seen swimming along reef edges or pausing near structures while it searches for food in the nooks and crannies.
