Blue-green Damselfish

Found in large schools, hiding in the arms of dead and living staghorn corals, in clear waters of reef flats and lagoons. This fish differs from the Black-axil Chromis-Chromis atripectoralis, as it does not have a black spot at the base of the pectoral fin.

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.
