I can keep taupou, Talbot and pomacentrus pavo alive.

Cannot keep starcki alive. This is my 3rd attempt.

Are they harder to keep than other damselfish?

I do wonder if they might be a bit more delicate than the typical Pomacentrus damsels. We added a group to a large public aquarium exhibit and after a few months, they were all gone except one or two.

Here is a thread about them:

I tried yellow back fusilier as a substitute but these are proving difficult too!
