Description
Alison's Blue Devil (*Chrysiptera alisonae*) is a small, vibrant damselfish characterized by its dark body and striking electric blue markings on its fins and face. While generally considered one of the more peaceful damselfish, it can exhibit territorial behavior, especially towards similar-looking or smaller tankmates. This hardy species is a popular choice for saltwater aquariums, suitable for beginner to intermediate aquarists.
