Longfin Damselfish

Found singly or in pairs, over coral and rubble areas, of sheltered inshore lagoons and fringing reefs. Very 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.
