thanks for the info mine is only 1" but it keeps going from here to there is hard to take a photo but with a small camera

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Yep, they are quite cool but can turn into devils when they get bigger.

Barbara · Geekette

skinz is right...they can be VERY nasty and aggressive

...not the kind of damsel I'd want with my other reef-friendly fish...just keep an eye on it and good luck! (though they are very pretty to look at)

Sneezy · Big-Geek

But you keep clowns and they are SATAN.

IanH · I peed in your back yard!!

Yes, I had to separate mine and put him in a 'bully' tank. He eats about 4 whole krill a night!

I think a reef tank with only damsels in it would be a really fun tank. A whole bunch of different kinds always fighting for territory. Would be one active tank.

yep, damsels can make for interesting territorial disputes in a tank by themselves.

Sneezy · Big-Geek
