I had one once, Damn mean fish, like most damsels. I won't ever keep another.

We get them in from time to time, they are really cool looking as juv. but like most damsels they turn into terrorizers when they mature.

I had one once.... about an inch in length. Definitely an aggressive bugger. Nice looking damsel though. If I had an aggressive tank I would add one. They love rock work and mine was constantly zooming around the rocks.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I got mine as a juvenile and it grew to about 2" mature. Very pretty fish, but just too bullyish for a peaceful reef tank.
