Well, thanks for the compliments...I was actually looking for something else to go in my reef, since I have a dwarf fuzzy lion in there, but happened to spot this guy in a tank with some gobies and decided to toss him in my live rock/rubble 10g. Gave $10 for him...hoping to find out some more info on him so I can make more permanent plans.

Don't know, but that's definitely a cool looking damsel. Good luck with him.

They get to be about 12.5 cm max length

Wow, looks like it could be either one of those.

local LFS has one of em thats rather large. The blue marks on its face dissappear as it gets older but the black and blue dot on the back stays there. No idea what it is... i had one for a while but sadly, it died

 

[quil]

Define "rather large"

 

[mark_d]

i wanna say 3inches.. maybe a bit more... most damsels around here are sold at about 1/2in - 1 in. so its rather large by comparison. hehehe......

 

[tarrahsmom]

That is so funny! I just bought one of those yesterday!

 

[quil]

What did they sell it to you as?

 

[tarrahsmom]

Orange honey Damsel

 

[triga22]
