Lined Chromis

Found singly or in loose schools, near the ceiling or at the entrance to large caves, and above upper edges of outer reef slopes, rich in coral growth.

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.
