Description
Miry's Demoiselle is a small, hardy damselfish recognized by its greenish-yellow head, silvery-grey body, and vibrant yellow caudal fin. They are active swimmers that bring a splash of color to a reef or fish-only saltwater aquarium. While generally considered one of the more peaceful damselfish, they can exhibit territorial behavior, especially towards conspecifics or similar-looking fish.
