Blue-ringed Angelfish
The adult Blue-ringed Angelfish has a disc-like but higher body that is entirely yellowish brown with numerous fine dots and about 8 curving blue lines running obliquely throughout on the side. There is a rounded yellowish brown area surrounded by blue behind the eye and the face is blue with blue lines. Dorsal and anal fins are brownish and gradually becoming deep blue posteriorly. The dorsal fin has a blackish thread from the central portion, becoming yellowish posteriorly. The caudal fin is abruptly white, gradually shading to slightly duskier with a white edge. The pectoral fins are yellowish brown with a blue-black spot at fin-base and the pelvic fins are yellowish brown with several blue-black lines.
Juveniles are blue-black with several vertical, slightly curving white bands on the side that gradually increasing in number with growth. Then over time, these bands on the side of young specimens will gradually fade away as this fish matures. Their fins are blue-black except for the caudal fin, which is translucent to whitish.
Juveniles of this species are very similar in appearance to several other members of Pomacanthus that are black with white bands.
