New Damsel - What is it

o2manyfish · 12/27/2012, 10:34 PM

Hey Guys,

Came across a damsel I hadn't seen before and grabbed it. Was wondering if anyone knows the name of it. They called it a two spot...

Thanks,

Dave B

I suspect the fish is a Chrysiptera unimaculata.

Unfortunately not a very attractive fish as it ages, but it stays fairly small (roughly three inches) and is one of the relatively less pugnacious members of the damselish family.

Well, at least he's pretty now and not likely to turn into a homicidal maniac. That's not nothing.

Gorgeous wrasse.

Aquatic Fins - Thanks for finding the name. Hopefully its a slow fish to mature because as an adult it definitely isn't as attractive. Last night after being in the tank for a few hours he was definitely being bratty. I have an assortment of other damsels in the tank so hopefully after a couple of days he will settle in.

Robin, that's a new Chaoti wrasse I picked up, working on trying to get it to eat at the moment. Hopefully it will adjust quickly and start eating.
