Field Notes

Description:

These cute little damselfish are always found shoaling over branching hard coral species that they are very territorial about. They usually hide when you come close, but with patience they will emerge again.

Thank you! I saw your pic - very cute :) I found them surprisingly difficult to photograph considering they really only move around on less than a square meter..
Yay, I posted a picture of these guys too! They're so cute, aren't they :) That second picture is so cute, I love that little guy peeking over the top!
