There once was an Orange Regal Angel,
A fish so majestic and angelical,
With bright orange and blue,
And a presence so true,
It's a sight that's simply fantastical.
This fish, Pygoplites diacanthus,
Has spines on its dorsal fin that can't miss,
It eats sponges and algae,
And can grow quite large, you see,
Making it one heck of a fish to dismiss.
