Carlson's Damsel

Found singly or in pairs, in the shadows of caves and ledges, over fringing reefs and the sheltered side of platform reefs.

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.
