AQUARIUM SUITABILITY - 10
REEF COMPATIBILITY - Excellent
CAPTIVE CARE - Will eat some algae, intensively aggressive, keep only one per tank unless a proven pair, do not keep with docile tankmates, will pick on other less aggressive damselfish, tankmates should be moderately aggressive (large dottybacks, angelfishes, triggerfishes, puffers, and others that can defend themselves. Mature males have a blue spinous dorsal fin and females have a yellow one. This is one of the more aggressive damsel fish and is a good candidate for the reef with more boisterous tankmates.
