Holacanthus
''Holacanthus'' is a genus of marine angelfishes (family Pomacanthidae). The eight species are particularly abundant near igneous rock, volcanic rocks and coral islands. Some are highly valued as food, but even more so for aquarium, aquaria, as all are brightly colored.

Queen Angelfish
The queen angelfish (''Holacanthus ciliaris''), also known as the blue angelfish, golden angelfish, or yellow angelfish, is a species of marine angelfish found in the western Atlantic Ocean. It is a benthic (ocean floor) warm-water species that lives in coral reefs. It is recognized by its blue and yellow coloration and a distinctive spot or "crown" on its forehead. This crown distinguishes it from the closely related and similar-looking Bermuda blue angelfish ('' Holacanthus bermudensis''), with which it overlaps in range and can interbreed. Adult queen angelfish are selective feeders and primarily eat sponges. Their social structure consists of harems which include one male and up to four females. They live within a territory where the females forage separately and are tended to by the male. Breeding in the species occurs near a full moon. The transparent eggs float in the water until they hatch. Juveniles of the species have different coloration than adults and act as cleaner ...

Bermuda Blue Angelfish
''Holacanthus bermudensis'', the blue angelfish or Bermuda blue angelfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a marine angelfish belonging to the family (biology), family Pomacanthidae. It occurs in the western Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy ''Holacanthus bermudensis'' was first formally Species description, described as ''Holacanthus ciliaris bermudensis'' in 1876 by the American ichthyologist George Brown Goode (1851-1896). The original type specimens from Bermuda, the syntypes, were set aside and replaced by a neotype, which was the holotype of ''Angelichthys isabelita'' which had been described by David Starr Jordan and Cloudsley Louis Ritter with the type locality given as Key West in Florida. This is set out in the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology (ICZN, Opinion 2003). This species frequently hybridises with the sympatric queen angelfish (''Holacanthus ciliaris)''.

Holacanthus Africanus
''Holacanthus africanus'', the Guinean angelfish or West African angelfish, is species of marine ray-finned fish, a marine angelfish belonging to the family Pomacanthidae. It is found in the warmer sections of the eastern Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa. Description ''Holocanthus africanus'' is differently coloured in juveniles and adults. The juvenile Guinean angelfish has a dark blue body with thin light blue vertical bars on either side of the eye. They also have a yellow caudal fin and yellow lips with a broad vertical white band in the middle of their flanks. As is they mature, the blue changes to olive green, with the white vertical bar on the flanks widening and becoming more yellowish. They also gain an almost black colour on the caudal peduncle. They may retain yellow areas along the margins of the dorsal and anal fins, and there is a dark ocellus visible behind the operculum. This species attains a maximum total length of .

It has a small mouth which is equipped with bristle like teeth. The juveniles have an overall colour of yellowish-orange on the body and fins; the body is marked with a number of blue vertical bars which fade and, eventually, disappear as the fish matures. The juveniles may also have blue lips and blue margins on the dorsal and anal fins. The adults have a brownish face, with the adjacent part of the body behind reddish orange and the posterior body being browner. The dorsal and anal fins are bright orange while the caudal fin is vermilion. The dorsal fin contains 14 spines and 17-19 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 19-19 soft ra ...

Holacanthus Passer
''Holacanthus passer'' (king angelfish or passer angelfish) is a large marine angelfish of the family Pomacanthidae. Its large size and bright colors make it a popular aquarium fish, even though it can be difficult to keep.

Description Males and females are visually identical. They do, however undergo significant changes in coloration and to a lesser degree shape as they mature. Juvenile king angelfish are primarily yellow, with fins rimmed with iridescent blue, blue striping towards the posterior of their bodies, and an orange mask around the eye.
