As these fishes get mature they become more aggressive to other tank inhabitants. Also, the Domino Damsel are very hardy and can tolerate extreme conditions which might kill other inhabitants. The Domino Damsel is almost black with three white spots, out of which one is on each side of the middle back and one is on top just before the dorsal fin. It is a striking fish and makes a great addition to any reef tank. Being aggressive in nature, it is advisable to keep the Domino Damsel singly and not in pairs. Should be introduced to your tank as the last fish to ignore its territorial nature. The Domino Damsel is reef safe and will not harm any corals. They should never be kept with few animals such as sharks, rays, large species damselfish, moray eels, and groupers.
