Javanese Damsel

Found singly or in loose schools, close to Acropora corals, over very shallow, protected current-swept shorelines, of reef flats, lagoons, and fringing 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.
