What is clipperton angelfish?

Clipperton angelfish (Holacanthus clarionensis) is a species of marine angelfish found in the eastern Pacific Ocean, primarily off the coast of Mexico and the Clipperton Island.

They have a distinct body shape with a triangular dorsal fin, rounded anal fin, and pointed pectoral fins. The base color of the body is blue-green, with yellow or orange highlights on the fins, head, and tail.

Clipperton angelfish feed on sponges, tunicates, and algae. They are non-migratory and live in pairs or small groups around rocky outcroppings and coral reefs.

These fish are popular in the aquarium trade due to their vibrant colors and unusual appearance. However, they are also listed as a species of concern due to overfishing and the decline of their coral reef habitats.
