Care notes
Electric blue with black stripe and yellow tail — one of the most striking of the damsels. Hardy and disease-resistant. Like most damsels, can be territorial and feisty for its size. One of the more manageable damsels compared to Three-Stripe or Domino. Good reef fish once tankmates are established.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
