Queen angelfish grace the reefs of Bonaire. Their electric blue tones appear to be illuminated, almost like a neon sign. Although they can reach 18 inches, the three adults seen here were all about 12 inches long. This species is rather shy, except when they are actively feeding on a sponge(top photo), in which case, they don't seem to care who is watching them.
The bottom photo is a juvenile queen angelfish that was about two inches long. They dart in and out of reef structures, and are always fun to find.
All the photos were taken between depths of 30 feet and 45 feet.
