Caribbean Cocoa Damselfish

Found singly or in pairs, close to coral bommie's, over hard substrate, between reefs and soft bottoms.
Juveniles are aggressively territorial.

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.
