Staying on rare angelfishes for a bit, this one is the Yellowhead Angelfish (Centropyge joculator). It's only found in the Australian eastern Indian Ocean Islands of Christmas and Cocos. I photographed this one back in 2007 in Christmas Island. #ichthyology

I love animales. I love the fantastical. I love mis hijos. Y amo a mi país (México). So it makes sense to mix them all together in my next picture book - Leo’s Lobo, slated to come out Spring 2026. And, como siempre, the book will be available in English y en Español🐾
