Description
The Tahiti Damsel, with its elegant white body accented by a bold black stripe, is a hardy and peaceful addition to marine aquariums. Known for its calm demeanor, this fish is an excellent choice for beginner and experienced aquarists alike, as it adapts well to various tank environments. Its striking contrast in color makes it a beautiful addition to both reef and fish-only setups.
Originating from the waters surrounding Tahiti, this damsel is reef-compatible and safe to house with corals and invertebrates. The Tahiti Damsel thrives in well-maintained aquariums with plenty of rockwork for hiding and grazing. It can coexist peacefully with other non-aggressive species and is ideal for community tanks.
As an omnivore, the Tahiti Damsel enjoys a varied diet. It will readily accept marine flakes, pellets, and frozen foods such as brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. Feeding it a balanced diet will help maintain its health and vibrant coloration.
