Description
The Blackray Damselfish is a hardy and attractive marine fish from the Indo-Pacific, known for its dark body and often a pale margin on its caudal fin. While juveniles may display yellow fins, adults are typically dark brown to black. This species can be territorial and semi-aggressive, especially as it matures.
