🐠 Tracey's Damsel (Chrysiptera traceyi)
A Regal Purple Front Fading to Canary-Yellow With Warm Pink and Orange Accents • A Rare, Recently Discovered Species • A Striking Display in Small Groups
 
📋 Tracey's Damsel, also known as Tracey's Damselfish or Tracey's Demoiselle, has an exhilarating combination of regal purple colouration that transitions to a rich canary-yellow toward the tail, accented by gradations of warm pink and orange reminiscent of a sunset.
It comes from lagoon and seaward reefs across the Western Pacific, including the Marshall Islands, Fiji, Guam, and Palau, found singly or in pairs at depths down to 40 metres. Every Tracey's Damsel we ship is feeding well.
A fascinating fact: this is a real relative newcomer to the aquarium trade, only having been imported for the first time relatively recently, and under royal blue LED lighting, its purple-and-yellow colouration resembles an oddly shaped Royal Gramma. This is a hardy, easy-to-care-for damselfish that will typically ignore other fish, invertebrates, and corals, though it can display territorial behaviour toward its own kind or similarly sized fish. It's fully reef safe, and does best kept in small, odd-numbered groups for a striking display, given adequate tank space. It reaches up to 7.6cm, so a 115L tank suits it well.
