Care guide at a glance
Chrysiptera madagascariensis
Description
A small damsel in soft blue-grey with a bright yellow rear and tail, from western Indian Ocean reefs. Hardy and reasonably peaceful.
Feeding
Omnivorous and unfussy. Marine flake, pellets and frozen mysis and brine shrimp.
Compatibility
Reef safe. Territorial like most damsels but less aggressive than the blue damsels. Best added as a group at once rather than singly.
Behaviour and personality
Active and bold, holding a small territory around rockwork.
Before you buy
Hardy and inexpensive, but like all damsels it becomes more territorial with age. Stock it early in the order or accept some harassment of later additions.
