Reticulate Dascyllus

Found in medium sized schools, sheltering within the arms of Pocillopora coral heads, in silty waters, of outer lagoons and seaward reefs. Colour varies.

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.
