Dusky Farmerfish

Found in the arms of dead and live staghorn corals, over shallow reef flats and lagoon reefs. Territorial and can be aggressive to divers.

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.
