Blue angelfish

Swim, Snorkel, Dive, See, Meet, Watch the Blue angelfish

The Blue angelfish has a greenish-yellow body with blue spots that turn yellow and a mouth with yellow lips. Its fins are circled in blue. It swims up to forty meters in reefs with coral blocks and in gorgonian fans so that it can sow the aggressor and retreat into crevices. It lives solitary and only pairs at the time of reproduction. It remains rather stealthy and withdrawn in front of the diver.

Food

The Blue angelfish feed on sponges, gorgonians, ascidians, and algae.

Breeding

The Blue angelfish undergoes an evolution during its life that it starts as a female and finishes as a male, depending on its size. There is no distinction between the two sexes because there are no signs to recognize them. The male organizes a harem around himself. The spawning season is a joyous frenzy that grips everyone. Seeds are released during sudden accelerations and fertilisation of the eggs takes place in the open water. The eggs drift away and the larvae that emerge from them will swarm far from the spawning site.
