Also known as Ambon Damselfish.

Found singly or in small groups, usually in sandy areas of lagoons and protected reefs.
They feed on zooplankton.

Damselfish are egg layers.
First they clear a site ready for a nest, then engage in a mating dance with rapid swimming and fin movements, during this time the males will often turn a shade or two darker and may display white blotches. Spawning occurs at dawn. (edit)
