Bigscale soldierfish is a nocturnal reef fish associated with steep outer reef slopes, caves, and ledges. It shelters in dark recesses by day and moves out at night to feed on zooplankton and small invertebrates.
Bird Wrasse
Gomphosus varius
Bird wrasse (Gomphosus varius) is a slender Indo-Pacific wrasse found on coral and rocky reefs, where it probes crevices and rubble for small invertebrates. Males are distinctive with a long, pipe-like snout; females are shorter-bodied and differently colored. It is not a major angling target.
Black Damsel
Neoglyphidodon melas
Black Damsel (*Neoglyphidodon melas*) is a dark damselfish of shallow coral reefs and lagoons across the Indo-Pacific. Juveniles are pale with a bold black spot on the dorsal fin, while adults are uniformly black and territorial.
Black Drum
Pogonias cromis
Black drum are large coastal sciaenids found over bays, estuaries, surf zones, and nearshore reefs and mud flats. They feed by rooting for crabs, shrimp, mollusks, and small fish, and adults can become heavy, deep-bodied fish often associated with drum-like sounds during spawning.
Black Grouper
Mycteroperca bonaci
Black grouper is a large, reef-associated serranid found on rocky ledges, coral reefs, and wrecks in warm Atlantic waters. It is an ambush predator that feeds on fish and crustaceans and is prized by anglers where regulations allow harvest.
Black Rockfish
Sebastes melanops
Black rockfish is a west coast rockfish that lives around rocky reefs, kelp beds, and offshore structure from shallow inshore water to deeper shelf habitat. It is an important recreational and commercial species, and large adults can move offshore seasonally while juveniles stay closer to kelp and nearshore cover.
Black Scorpionfish
Scorpaena porcus
Black scorpionfish is a venomous, bottom-dwelling ambush predator of rocky reefs and eelgrass in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. It sits motionless on the seabed, relying on camouflage and sudden strikes to take small fish and crustaceans.

Black Seabream
Spondyliosoma cantharus
Black seabream (Spondyliosoma cantharus) is a temperate sea bream found around rocky reefs, mixed bottoms, seagrass, and harbors, usually from shallow inshore water to moderate depths. It feeds on small invertebrates and algae, and is a respected light-tackle species rather than a major food-fish in many areas.

Embiotoca jacksoni
Black surfperch (Embiotoca jacksoni) is a kelp- and reef-edge surfperch of the eastern North Pacific, common from central California to northern Baja California. It feeds mainly on small crustaceans and benthic invertebrates and is a steady, accessible shore catch where the species is present.
