Care guide at a glance
Neoglyphidodon oxyodon
Description
A striking juvenile in deep velvet black with electric blue lines and a white bar, maturing into a large, plain and thoroughly bad-tempered adult.
Feeding
Omnivorous and unfussy. Marine flake, pellets and frozen mysis and brine shrimp.
Compatibility
Reef safe but becomes genuinely aggressive as it matures, and grows larger than most damsels. Not suitable for a peaceful community.
Behaviour and personality
Active and bold, holding a small territory around rockwork.
Before you buy
