They can be found at depths from 10-100'. They are gray becoming charcoal at the rear of their body. They are found along the Baja to Panama. They are usually solitary but frequently in pairs.

The juvenile Cortez Angelfish has six curving yellow bands from snout to tail with narrow blue bands between. In transition from juvenile to adult there is a mix as shown in the photo. The juvenile is 1-3" in length and the transitional stage they are from 4-7".

These fish are generally not concerned with divers and are often curious. You can approach them if you move slowly and in a non-threatening manner.
