Blackback Anemonefish
Amphiprion melanopus
Blackback Anemonefish (Amphiprion melanopus) is a coral-reef clownfish of the tropical Indo-Pacific, typically living in close association with sea anemones. It is a small, territorial omnivore with strong site fidelity to its host.
Blackback Butterflyfish
Chaetodon melannotus
Blackback Butterflyfish is a reef-associated Indo-Pacific butterflyfish that feeds mainly on coral polyps and small benthic invertebrates. It is generally encountered in clear coastal and outer-reef habitats and is more of an ornamental reef species than a target for anglers.
Blackbar Damselfish
Plectroglyphidodon dickii
Blackbar Damselfish is a small reef damselfish found on shallow coral and rocky reefs in the Indo-Pacific. It is strongly territorial and usually stays close to branching corals where it feeds on benthic algae and tiny invertebrates.
Blackbar Soldierfish
Myripristis jacobus
Blackbar Soldierfish is a nocturnal reef fish found over coral and rocky drop-offs. It shelters by day in crevices and feeds at night on plankton and small benthic invertebrates.
Blackbarred Wrasse
Thalassoma nigrofasciatum
The Blackbarred Wrasse (Thalassoma nigrofasciatum) is a tropical reef fish recognized by its distinctive black barring or vertical stripes. This small to medium-sized wrasse inhabits coral reef environments where it forages for small benthic invertebrates. Little specific information exists in widely available fisheries literature regarding its angling importance.
Blackblotched Porcupinefish
Diodon liturosus
Blackblotched porcupinefish is a medium-large spiny puffer of tropical Indo-Pacific reefs, lagoons, and sheltered coastal waters. It inflates when threatened and carries potent tetrodotoxin in its tissues and organs.
Blackeye Goby
Rhinogobiops nicholsii
Blackeye Goby is a small marine goby common on rocky reefs, kelp forests, and sheltered coastal zones. It stays close to the bottom in shallow water and is often seen perched on substrate or in crevices.
Blackeye Thicklip
Hemigymnus melapterus
Blackeye Thicklip is a reef-associated wrasse found on tropical Indo-Pacific reefs. It forages in mixed algal and invertebrate prey along coral and rubble, and is more of a food/forage species than a common sport target.
Blackfin Barracuda
Sphyraena qenie
Blackfin barracuda is a large, streamlined predatory fish of Indo-Pacific reefs and offshore slopes. It is mostly a solitary ambush hunter, feeding on smaller fish and occasionally cephalopods, and is valued more as a game fish than a table fish.
Blacklip Butterflyfish
Chaetodon kleinii
Blacklip Butterflyfish (Chaetodon kleinii) is a reef-associated butterflyfish found across the Indo-Pacific, often around coral and rocky reefs, lagoons, and seaward slopes. It feeds on small benthic invertebrates, especially coral polyps, worms, and crustaceans.
Blacksaddle Goatfish
Parupeneus spilurus
A small Indo-Pacific goatfish associated with reef and lagoon habitats, where it forages over sand and rubble. Like other goatfishes, it uses chin barbels to probe the bottom for buried prey.
Blacksaddle Toby
Canthigaster valentini
The blacksaddle toby is a small, venomless pufferfish found on Indo-Pacific coral reefs and lagoons. It commonly occurs in shallow tropical waters where it grazes on benthic invertebrates and algae, and it can inflate when threatened.
