Description
The Brown Demoiselle is a hardy and relatively peaceful damselfish species native to the Western Atlantic. It typically exhibits a brownish-grey body with subtle blue accents on its fins, especially along the fin edges. This omnivorous fish thrives in a well-established saltwater aquarium with plenty of rockwork for hiding and grazing.
