Description
The Allen’s Damsel, also known as the Electric Blue Damsel, is a stunning small fish characterized by its vibrant electric blue body with a yellow underbelly. Its brilliant colors make it an attractive addition to marine and reef tanks, especially for beginners due to its hardy nature.
This damsel is generally peaceful but may become semi-aggressive as it matures, particularly towards its own kind. It’s reef-compatible and will not harm corals or invertebrates, making it ideal for a community tank. This omnivore thrives on a varied diet, including flake food, frozen foods, and small pellets, along with marine algae.
