Twinspot Damselfish

Found singly or pairs, over rock and rubble outcrops, in very shallow protected channels, inner reef flats, and lagoons. Geographical variation in colour.

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.
