🐠 Azure Damselfish (Chrysiptera hemicyanea)
A Brilliant Electric-Blue Upper Body With a Bright Yellow Underside • A Striking, Standout Two-Tone Colouration • One of the Most Resilient Marine Fish Available
📋 The Azure Damselfish is a vividly coloured marine fish prized for its brilliant electric-blue upper body paired with a contrasting bright yellow underside, a striking two-tone combination that makes it a standout in any reef or fish-only display.
It comes from shallow lagoons and reef flats across the Western Pacific, from the Philippines through Indonesia to parts of Micronesia, typically found darting among branching coral and rubble in small, loose groups. Every Azure Damselfish we ship is feeding well.
Naturally active and hardy, this species is among the most resilient marine fish available in the trade. Like most damselfish, it can become territorial as it matures, particularly in smaller tanks, so thoughtful stocking order and adequate space help keep its confident personality in check. It reaches 6-7cm, so a 75L tank suits it well.
