Care guide at a glance
Chrysiptera talboti
Description
A small damsel with a yellow head, lavender body and a black dorsal spot. Genuinely peaceful, unlike most of its relatives.
Feeding
Omnivorous. Marine flake, pellets and frozen mysis and brine shrimp.
Compatibility
Reef safe and among the most peaceful damsels available, which is unusual for the family. Good in a mixed reef with other small fish.
Behaviour and personality
Hovers close to rockwork rather than patrolling a large territory. Bold but not aggressive.
Before you buy
One of very few damsels that can be recommended for a peaceful reef community. Stays small and does not develop the territorial aggression typical of the family.
