Description
The Andaman Damselfish is a vibrant blue marine fish with a distinctive black spot at the caudal fin base and yellow pelvic/anal fins. Native to the Andaman Sea, it is a hardy and relatively small species. While generally robust, it can be territorial, especially towards conspecifics or similar-looking fish.
