Ternate Chromis

Found in large schools, in and around the arms of staghorn corals, over clear water, lagoons and outer reef slopes.
They feed high above the reef, on algae, planktonic crustaceans, and fish eggs.

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.
