Ocellate damsel - $30

Recommended Posts

This was sent to me accidentally in place of an agile chromis. It's a Ocellate Damsel also called Princess Damselfish. This fish has not been a problem in my tank, I have 9 other damsels / chromis, and 2 clowns in this tank as well, but this guy is just way too large and active. He's roughly 3" plus the tail and very active so will really benefit from a large tank. He makes my purple tang seem like a slow methodical swimmer, and a 90 gallon tank look like fish bowl, just very, very active. He eats whatever you feed him.

He has not been aggressive towards other fish except has briefly chased my royal gramma and a talbots damsel a few times when I'm feeding the tank. Both of these have a spot on their dorsal fin which I think may be why he took any interest in them. These are listed as aggressive though so it would also probably be fine in a FOWLR or semi aggressive tank. Totally reef safe as well and would be likely be great for a larger reef tank.

I don't have a good picture of mine, but he's a slightly darker version of this. Not quite as bright, but a very nice fish. I can try to get a picture, he's in my sump so I can catch him more easily, but it's not going to lend itself to a good picture.

Also interested in a trade if you have any SPS or a RBTA or possibly some other coral, feel free to ask.
