Blue Face Angelfish, (Pomacanthus xanthometopon, Euxiphipops xanthometopon)

Stewart Whitfield - Monday, September 07, 2009
The Blue Face Angelfish, (Pomacanthus xanthometopon), is referred to variously as the Blueface, Yellowface, or Yellowmask Angelfish, the adult and juvenile Blueface Angelfish differ markedly in coloration.
As a juvenile, the body is covered with alternating vertical stripes of black, white, and sapphire blue. Upon growing to approximately five inches, the juvenile begins to morph into its adult coloration of pale yellow with bluish scales and a bright-yellow pectoral fin. It has a mottled-blue face with yellow mask that extends from eye to eye, but not much beyond each eye. There is also an eyespot at the caudalĀ end of the dorsal fin.
