Semi-Aggressive, beautiful and is a great addition for reef tanks. Easy to keep, a bit shy in the beginning but swims aggressively later. Mine would eat everything I threw in the tank from flakes to pellets. Most I am using Prime Reef Flakes from Ocean Nutrition and Hikari’s Marine S.

Requires hiding spots and later becomes territorial once matures in the tank. This fish when comes to retailers in India it is referred as the fish which has been imported from Indonesia. Finally, we get some variation from the regular blue and yellow damselfish. I kept this fish thinking it will pair up with my clowns but eventually it did not and end up harassing my clowns. So, had to put it with little more aggressive tank mates.
