Marine angelfish are perciform fish of the family Pomacanthidae. They are found on shallow reefs in the tropical Atlantic, Indian, and mostly western Pacific Oceans. The family contains seven genera and about 86 species. They should not be confused with the freshwater angelfish, tropical cichlids of the Amazon Basin.
A yellowtail may be any of several different species of fish. Most commonly the yellowtail amberjack Seriola lalandi is meant. In the context of sushi, yellowtail usually refers to the Japanese amberjack, Seriola quinqueradiata. Other species called simply "yellowtail" include:
Holacanthus is a genus of marine angelfishes. The eight species are particularly abundant near volcanic rocks and coral islands. Some are highly valued as food, but even more so for aquaria, as all are brightly colored.
Centropyge is a genus of ray-finned fish, marine angelfish belonging to the family Pomacanthidae found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean. These species do not exceed 15 cm in length and live in haremic structures with one dominant male and multiple females. Although it is hard to identify their gender; females are often shorter and more round finned. Like many other reef fish and all marine angelfish, the species in this genus are protogynous hermaphrodite, meaning that they start their adult lives as females and the dominant individual in a group can change to a male within days. A reversal of this sex change is possible if the social status of the individual changes, it is however a process that requires much more time.

Chaetodontoplus poliourus, the greytail angelfish, is a species of marine fish belonging to the family Pomacanthidae. It is similar to its sister species Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus, and the two were considered as being the same species for a long time. However, they can be readily distinguished by the color of their tails: C. poliurus has a grey tail, whereas C. mesoleucus has a yellow tail. The Greytail Angelfish can be found in inshore reefs and lagoons of the western Pacific, from Indonesia to Palau and Solomon Islands. It's rare in the aquarium trade, but highly sought after, and listed as Least Concern by the IUCN Red List.
