Gray angelfish



Today, I had the great fortune of encountering a gray angelfish on the reef. They are rather uncommon here, and it is always an honor to see one. Their body is gray. Other distinguishing marks are a square-cut tail, and yellow on the inner face of the pectoral fin.

This fish was about 12 inches long, and I saw it several times between 25 and 45 feet. One photo captures the yellow inner side of the fin.
