Description
Finally! After 10 years, I found one fish I have been looking for. The Emperor Angelfish (Pomacanthus imperator) is a species of marine angelfish.
This is a closeup photo. I made the background emerald green to create beautiful photoart. The fish is in natural color.
It is a reef-associated fish, native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, from the Red Sea to Hawaii and the Austral Islands. This species is generally associated with stable populations and faces no major threats of extinction. The pattern is brilliant, colorful and gorgeous.
Juveniles are dark blue with electric blue and white rings; adults have yellow and blue stripes, with black around the eyes. It takes about 24 to 30 months for an emperor angelfish to acquire its adult coloring. Full adult size is about 40 cm (15.75 in) in length.

The glowing pattern of the fish against the green background is stunning. l/f/tweet/pin
