About Azysron Damsel
The Azysron Damsel is a hardy and attractive marine damselfish known for its dark blue to brown body, contrasting pale markings and vibrant blue highlights. It is an active fish that spends much of its time around rockwork, where it establishes a small territory.
Like many damselfish, the Azysron Damsel can become territorial and aggressive, particularly towards other damselfish and similarly shaped fish. Providing plenty of live rock, caves and hiding places helps give it space to establish a territory.
It is generally reef safe with corals and readily accepts a variety of aquarium foods, making it a hardy choice for established marine systems.

Common Mistakes
Keeping them with overly passive fish
Their territorial behaviour can stress very timid tank mates.
Providing too little rockwork
Caves and crevices allow the fish to establish a territory and retreat when necessary.
Adding several damsels without enough space
Competition for territory can result in persistent aggression.
Keeping them in an unstable aquarium
Despite being hardy, stable salinity and excellent water quality are still important.
Overfeeding
Offer appropriately sized portions and remove excess food to maintain water quality.
