Beaugregory

Found singly, close to the substrate, over seagrass beds, mangroves, sandy areas, and sponge beds, of shallow, coral and rocky 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.
