Yellowtail Damselfish

Found singly or in pairs, close to branching corals, in caves, crevices, over edges and tops, of shallow water coral reefs, rich in fire corals.

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.
