Staghorn Damsel (Amblyglyphidodon curacao)

Staghorn Chromis stick close to branching Acropora colonies in the wild, using the maze of coral branches as an escape route the instant something bigger swims past — a habitat association shared with plenty of small reef fish that trade an exposed life in open water for the protection of tight coral structure. Schooling and shimmering blue-green, it's a fish built to be watched darting in and out of rockwork.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Semi-aggressive, milder than most damsels · Max size: ~3" · Min tank: 30 gal · Diet: Omnivore, marine flake/pellet
