The animal on the cover of Programming WCF
Services, Third Edition, is an angelfish (genus
Pterophyllum). Angelfish are found in tropical and
subtropical reefs around the world; there are at least 86 different species.
The average angelfish is about 7 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) long, but their
size varies greatly, as does their coloring, which changes with maturity.
The diet of angelfish consists of algae, worms, and various shellfish and
small sea creatures. A spine on the gill cover differentiates the angelfish
from the also-colorful butterfly fish.
Depending on the species, angelfish have different mating habits. Some
mate for life in territorial pairs, while others create harems of female
fish with one dominant male. All angelfish are protogynous hermaphrodites,
which means that if the dominant male dies or leaves the group, a female
morphs into a male for mating purposes.
In some countries angelfish are used for food, but mostly they are
caught for aquariums. Rare species of angelfish can range in price from
hundreds to thousands of dollars. In addition to collectors, reef
destruction and continual environmental degradation threaten
angelfish.
