The Queen Angelfish inhabits the reefs near Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. His preferred diet is sponges, but he also eats tunicates, plankton, jellyfish and coral. He can normally be found in pairs, and may form a monogamous bond. During mating, the pair join their bellies together, rising up in the water and simultaneously releasing their eggs or sperm. Fertilised eggs hatch into embryonic larvae, which develop into free-swimming fish. Juveniles often serve as "cleaners" and feed on the parasites of larger fish.
