Giant Damselfish

Found singly or in pairs, in shallow waters, below surf zones of coral and rocky reefs rich in algae growth. Very aggressive and 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.
