Description

Juveniles are bright yellow with two bold black stripes running the length of the body, maturing into a dusky brown-black fish with a yellowish rear half and tail. Like most Neoglyphidodon damsels it starts out shy but becomes territorial and pugnacious with age, so add it last and pair it with equally robust tankmates in a tank with abundant rockwork for grazing and retreats. It is hardy and undemanding, accepting most prepared foods, though large adults may nip at soft corals and small ornamental shrimp.
