Damsel ID... ***a great reef damsel***

[Mr Cob]

Cool fish. I would like to hear from others that might have kept this one also. If it is peaceful that would be awesome. You sure you didn't get the only friendly one Rob?

That's possible...but like I said...Jason kept schools in his SPS holding tanks for the longest time back at the old shop. In fact he would never sell them to me...I kept asking for like 6 months and then an employee finally sold me one...LOL! (that employee no longer works there) I would suspect Jason wouldn't have kept them if they were aggressive considering he had other fish in there from time to time.

Anyways... I too, would like to hear from others that have kept this fish.

it looks to much like a yellow tail damsel




mine would always do great with other fish but than he started to be mean one day

maybe he is the reason why your expensive fish have been dying ?

Very cute but I bet they're fast. If they don't work out they're going to be a pain to get out of a tank with rock in it.

Yep...this dude is not coming out. Guess it's a chance you take.

Has anyone found any info from an actual hobbyist that says they are aggressive?

I can't seem to find many people that keep them. I listen to experience before I listen to "copy and paste" text that all these vendors share online.

Very cool Rob. A few select damsels have given damsels a bad name. Greenmako had a beautiful damsel in his aquarium that was bought off of live aquariua. Cant remember which one but it was nice.

Some people seem to forget that damsels and clownfish are very closely related and as you and I know. We have had some aggressive clowns, lol.

I have seen these at aquadome before in their frag tank. I also thought I remember seeing one at someoneelse's house but I cant remember who's house it was.
