Barred Rabbitfish
Siganus doliatus
Barred Rabbitfish (Siganus doliatus) is a reef-associated herbivore found on tropical Indo-Pacific coasts and lagoons. It grazes heavily on algae in shallow reef flats, seagrass edges, and coral-rich sheltered waters.
Barred Soapfish
Diploprion bifasciatus
Barred Soapfish is a small serranid reef fish with bold dark bars and a laterally compressed body. It is an uncommon reef associate in the Indo-Pacific; like other soapfish, it can release a noxious mucus when stressed.
Barred Thicklip
Hemigymnus fasciatus
Barred Thicklip is a reef-associated wrasse from Indo-Pacific waters, recognized by its barred body pattern and thick fleshy lips. It forages on hard-bottom reefs, where it picks small benthic invertebrates from the substrate.
Barrier Reef Anemonefish
Amphiprion akindynos
Barrier Reef Anemonefish is a small coral-reef clownfish from the western Pacific, especially the Great Barrier Reef region. It lives closely with host sea anemones and feeds on plankton, algae, and tiny benthic invertebrates.
Beaugregory
Stegastes leucostictus
Beaugregory is a small Caribbean damselfish that lives in shallow reef habitats and seagrass edges, often defending a small territory. It feeds mainly on algae and benthic invertebrates and is common but not a major angling target.
Bengal Sergeant
Abudefduf bengalensis
The Bengal Sergeant is a reef-associated damselfish found on shallow coastal reefs, lagoons, and surge zones across the Indo-Pacific. It forms small groups and feeds on plankton and tiny benthic invertebrates, but it is not a common targeted gamefish.
Bentstick Pipefish
Trachyrhamphus bicoarctatus
A slender Indo-Pacific pipefish that lives in shallow coastal waters and seagrass habitats, where it uses its long snout to pick tiny crustaceans from vegetation and bottom cover. It is not a common angling target, and most records come from scientific surveys rather than fishing catches.
Bermuda Chub
Kyphosus sectatrix
Bermuda Chub are large, sturdy herbivorous reef fish commonly seen around coral reefs, rocky shorelines, jetties, and nearshore flats. They are usually cautious but will feed on algae, seagrass, and sometimes small invertebrates or scraps around structure.
Bicolor Angelfish
Centropyge bicolor
Bicolor angelfish is a small Indo-Pacific reef angelfish with a bright blue front half, yellow rear half, and dark eye stripe. It lives close to coral-rich slopes and rubble zones, grazing on algae and tiny benthic invertebrates.
Bicolor Damselfish
Stegastes partitus
Bicolor Damselfish is a small Caribbean reef damselfish that defends territories on shallow reefs and inshore hard-bottom habitat. It feeds mainly on benthic algae and tiny invertebrates, and is best regarded as an ornamental/research species rather than a target for anglers.
Bigbelly Seahorse
Hippocampus abdominalis
Bigbelly seahorse is a temperate seahorse found around southern Australia and New Zealand, usually in sheltered coastal habitats. It uses its prehensile tail to anchor to vegetation and ambush small crustaceans.
Bigeye Trevally
Caranx sexfasciatus
Bigeye trevally is a fast, schooling jack of tropical Indo-Pacific waters, often hunting in coastal currents, reef drop-offs, and around islands. Juveniles may use protected bays and estuaries, while adults range offshore and can feed aggressively on baitfish and squid.
