🐠 Cloudy Damsel Dascyllus carneus

Reef Safe • Hardy • Beginner-Friendly

 

📋 The Cloudy Damsel (Dascyllus carneus) is a hardy and active marine fish that displays a cloudy white to pale grey body with subtle darker shading. Like most damselfish, it is small, robust, and easy to care for, making it a popular choice for beginners in the marine hobby.

While juveniles are peaceful, adults can become territorial, especially in smaller aquariums. They are reef safe and thrive in community reef tanks with corals, but should be housed with other semi-aggressive or robust fish to avoid bullying.

🌊 Reef Safe – Suitable for corals and invertebrates
