Today, for the first time this season, we dove down to a big colony of cherubfish, at about 85 feet. This species is one of the smallest angelfish. Instead of reaching 18 inches in length like other angelfish, cherubfish don't grow longer than about 3 inches. They are fascinating little blue beauties, with a yellow-orange face and blue spectacles.
In this rubble colony, the cherubfish dart in and out of coral rubble. And they don't hang around long enough to pose for photographers. And as you can see, a number of other fish live in the rubble with them.
