Biology
The regal angelfish can be spotted both close to the surface above reefs and in deep lagoons and on the slopes of reefs up to 50 m in depth.
This territorial species tends to be solitary and only lives with a partner during the breeding season.
This fish from the angelfish family has a special diet, feeding primarily on sponges and sea squirts.
Although its juveniles are fearful and often confined to their territories, the adults are very active, travelling long distances through the reefs.
