Bluespot Butterflyfish
Chaetodon plebeius
Bluespot Butterflyfish (Chaetodon plebeius) is a reef-associated butterflyfish from the Indo-Pacific, named for the bright blue spots along its upper body. It is generally an obligate coral feeder and is rarely targeted by anglers.
Bluespotted Goatfish
Upeneichthys vlamingii
Bluespotted Goatfish (Upeneichthys vlamingii) is a coastal demersal goatfish from southern Australia, commonly found over sand and rubble near reefs. It uses chin barbels to probe for small benthic invertebrates and is taken occasionally by anglers rather than targeted widely.
Bluespotted Grouper
Cephalopholis cyanostigma
A reef-associated grouper from the western Indian Ocean and adjacent seas, recognized by its blue spotting and variable dark body. It lives around coral and rocky slopes, where it ambushes small fish and crustaceans from cover.
Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse
Labroides dimidiatus
Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse is a small reef fish famous for removing parasites and dead tissue from other fish at “cleaning stations.” It is widespread on tropical Indo-Pacific reefs and is not a typical angling target.
Bluestreak Goby
Valenciennea strigata
The bluestreak goby is a small Indo-Pacific reef goby that sifts sand for tiny invertebrates and detritus. It is common in aquaria and usually stays close to the bottom on sandy reef flats, lagoons, and rubble slopes.
Bluestripe Lizardfish
Synodus dermatogenys
Bluestripe lizardfish is a slender ambush predator of shallow tropical coastal waters, usually resting on sand or rubble where it can dart at small fish and crustaceans. It is not a major target species for most anglers, but it can be caught incidentally on light tackle.
Bluestriped Fangblenny
Plagiotremus rhinorhynchos
A small, coral-reef-associated fangblenny that mimics cleaner wrasses to approach other fish and take scales and mucus by stealth. It is not a typical target species and is known more for its deceptive feeding strategy than for sport fishing value.
Bluestriped Goatfish
Upeneichthys lineatus
Bluestriped Goatfish is a slender reef-associated goatfish with a bold blue stripe, common over sandy bottoms near reefs and seagrass. It forages on the bottom for small crustaceans and worms using its chin barbels to probe the substrate.
Bluestriped Grunt
Haemulon sciurus
Bluestriped grunts are reef-associated marine fish commonly found in shallow tropical waters, where they school over coral and rocky bottoms. They feed mostly at night on small benthic invertebrates and are a modest food and bait species in parts of their range.
Bluestriped Snapper
Lutjanus kasmira
Bluestriped Snapper (Lutjanus kasmira) is a reef-associated snapper native to the Indo-Pacific and widely introduced in parts of the Hawaiian archipelago. It forms schools over reefs and drop-offs, feeding mainly on small fishes and crustaceans at dusk and night.
Bluethroat Wrasse
Notolabrus tetricus
Bluethroat Wrasse is a temperate Australasian wrasse found around rocky reefs, kelp beds, and weed-covered coastal structure. It is an active benthic feeder that picks crabs, mollusks, worms, and other invertebrates from the bottom and around reef edges.
Bogue
Boops boops
Bogue is a small, silvery coastal sparid found in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. It often schools over sandy and muddy bottoms near shore, feeding on plankton, small crustaceans, and other tiny prey.
