Cherubfish

Aspect:	Against all odds, this is not a Damselfish that made up for Carnival celebrations, but a genuine Angelfish and thus belongs to the Pomacanthidae family. Bright blue body and yellow face and chest.
Population:	So far unknown to the Ilets Pigeon reserve, but may be encountered - as is the case of this specimen - in the South of Guadeloupe around the Saintes islands.
Notable feature:	Blue ring around the eyes, and always has a blue tail: fins are bordered by a lighter blue line.
Environment:	Shallow waters
Behaviour:	Very wary.
