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.
Bignose Unicornfish
Naso vlamingii
A large, oceanic surgeonfish of Indo-Pacific reefs, the bignose unicornfish commonly cruises outer reef slopes and surge zones. It is a herbivore that browses on algae, and adults develop a prominent forehead profile as they mature.
Bigscale Soldierfish
Myripristis berndti
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.
