Field Notes
Description:
Is a large, colourful damselfish. It earns its name from its brightly striped sides, which are reminiscent of the insignia of a military Sergeant Major. It grows to a length of about 15 cm (6 inches).
In my spotting must be babies because they were no more than 8 cm.
Habitat:
Are found throughout the tropical reaches of the Atlantic, including off the south coast of the United States, Central America, eastern South America, including the island Bonaire and western Africa. They are often found on coral reefs at depths of between 1 and 12 meters.
