French angelfish are among the most conspicuous residents of El Aquario, patrolling territories around coral heads in mated pairs that mate for life. They feed primarily on sponges, which make up the bulk of their diet, and serve as cleaning station attendants for larger fish species. Their bold black-and-yellow coloration and curious temperament make them a favourite subject for underwater photographers at this site.
