Description
The Jordan's Damsel is a small, vibrant blue marine fish native to the Western Pacific. Known for its striking coloration, it can be territorial and semi-aggressive, especially towards smaller or more docile tankmates. It thrives in a well-established saltwater aquarium with plenty of rockwork for hiding.
