The Blue Head Pink Damsel (Chrysiptera rex) is a colorful and hardy fish, popular among beginner and experienced aquarists alike. This damsel features a striking blue head that gradually transitions into a pink or orange body, creating a vibrant color gradient that adds a touch of tropical beauty to any aquarium.

Known for its semi-aggressive temperament, the Blue Head Pink Damsel is best kept in tanks with similarly sized, robust fish. It is generally reef-safe, coexisting well with corals and invertebrates, but it may show territorial behavior, especially in smaller tanks. Providing ample hiding spaces and rocky areas within the tank helps to reduce aggression.

As an omnivore, this damsel thrives on a varied diet that includes flakes, pellets, and frozen foods like brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. Regular feeding helps maintain its vivid coloration and active nature.

With its ease of care and stunning appearance, the Blue Head Pink Damsel makes an excellent addition to a reef or community setup. This hardy species is well-suited for both nano and larger aquariums, bringing a dynamic splash of color and energy to the environment.
