King Angelfish

Holacanthus passer

Description:

King Angelfish are found in the Pacific Ocean. Angelfish are built to maneuver. Angelfish swim by rowing with their pectoral fins, much like you would row a rowboat. But their tall bodies are very thin, allowing them to glide through the water and turn quickly. The King Angelfish has eyes near its forehead; this gives it good forward vision.

Habitat:

Waters of Mexico

Notes:

Out on my water taxi tour during my vacation in Mexico, I saw some cool looking fish so I decided to take a picture of them.
