Description
The Batuna Damsel is a small, vibrant saltwater fish known for its bright yellow body, dorsal fin, and striking blue eyes. It is a hardy and active species that adds a splash of color to reef aquariums. While generally peaceful, it can be territorial towards similar-sized or shaped fish, especially when establishing its territory.
