Distribution
"Holacanthus africanus" is found from Senegal to the Congo estuary, including the Cape Verde and São Tomé islands. It has been reported for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea in Valletta harbour, Malta in 2017.Behavior
"Holacanthus africanus" is found in clear water over rocky reefs at depths between 1 and 40 metres. The Guinean angelfish has a non-specialized diet. It feeds primarily on sponges, but also on tunicates, jellyfish, and soft corals as well as algae and plankton. Around the Cape Verde islands, this species is often found in quite dense mixed species shoals, the Guinean angelfish being dominant.References:
