Description
The Golden gregory, also known as the Golden Damselfish, is a strikingly bright yellow fish with a small black spot at the base of its caudal fin. Native to the Indo-Pacific, it is a hardy species often found in coral reefs. While generally peaceful as juveniles, adults can become territorial and semi-aggressive.
