Golden Damsel

Found amongst the fronds of gorgonians, and long sea-whip corals, over current swept channel walls, in lagoons, and steep outer 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.
