French angelfish

One of the most beautiful fishes in the world is the French angelfish species known as the marine angelfish a type of ray-finned fish in the Pomacanthidae family. The body of the French angelfish is almost round and laterally compressed. The deep head has a short snout that ends in a tiny mouth with several bristle-like teeth. There is no spine on the operculum or under the eye, but there is a clear spine at the corner of the preoperculum.

The anal fin has three spines and 22–24 soft rays, compared to the dorsal fin's ten spines and 29–31 soft rays. The longest overall length for this species is 41.1 centimeters. The juveniles are almost all black save from five curved vertical yellow bands on the body, the first one at the mouth and the last one at the caudal peduncle. The caudal fin's edges are yellow. The adults are primarily black as well, however, the edges of the majority of the body scales are golden-yellow. They have a golden orbit and white lips. The dorsal fin has a long yellow filamentous extension coming from its soft-rayed portion, while the pectoral fins have a broad orange-yellow band.
