Description
The Slender Reef-Damsel is a hardy marine fish characterized by its yellow-green upper body, white belly, and a prominent black spot at the base of its caudal fin. While generally peaceful as juveniles, they can become semi-aggressive as adults, especially towards conspecifics or smaller, timid tankmates. They thrive in a well-established reef or fish-only aquarium.
