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 Goby
Gobius niger
The black goby is a small benthic coastal goby found on soft bottoms in shallow marine and estuarine waters. It spends much of its time resting on the substrate, darting out to pick small invertebrates from sand, mud, and seagrass edges.
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.
