Pomacanthus maculosus, also known as the yellowbar angelfish, half-moon angelfish, yellow-marked angelfish, yellowband angelfish, or yellow-blotched angelfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish. It belongs to the family Pomacanthidae. You can find it in the western Indian Ocean and, more recently, in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. This striking angelfish has a deep, compressed body with small bristle-like teeth in its small mouth. Adults display a brownish-blue background color with a yellow bar near the center of their flanks, adorned with dark blue, vertically elongated spots. The caudal fin features wavy blue lines on a pale yellow background. Juveniles, on the other hand, are mainly black with arced, vertical blue lines and three broader white lines, with only the rear third of their caudal fin being yellow.
