Philippine Damsel

Found singly, pairs, or in small schools, in the shadow of cliffs and vertical drop-offs, under overhangs and passages, of lagoons and seaward 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.
