French angelfish (scientific name: Pomacanthus paru), fish, off Key Largo coast, Atlantic Ocean, Florida Keys, USA, United States. Common in shallow reefs. Usually in pairs, often near sea fans and sponges. Juveniles are jet black with circular bright yellow bands and they tend cleaning stations where they service a broad range of clients, including jacks, snappers, morays, grunts, surgeonfishes, and wrasses. At the station the cleaner displays a fluttering swimming and when cleaning it touches the clients with its pelvic fins.
