This damselfish adds vibrant color to my 40-gallon reef tank. The blue and yellow pattern is striking. I provide a mix of meaty and flake foods daily. It’s active but stays in its caves most of the time. Needs a large tank with plenty of hiding spots.
Trevor Gray –
Great visual appeal. I noticed it’s a bit aggressive with smaller fish, so I removed a few tank mates. It’s fine in a spacious setup with rock caves. Feeds well on frozen and flake food.

The colors are beautiful, but it does show signs of aggression toward other small fish. I keep it in a larger tank with plenty of cover. Feeding is straightforward with a mix of foods.
