The Queen angel (Holacanthus ciliaris) is found near reefs in the western Atlantic Ocean. The queen angel has two evolved adaptions that help them eat sponges. They have protracted jaws with teeth that have overlapping rows that cut through tough exteriors. The queen angle also has a special secretion of thick mucus that coats the sponge, making it easier to eat. Queen angels are not endangered but are threatened because of the destruction of their habitat the coral reef. I chose this fish because I like the colors it has.
