Is this an Azure Damsel?

[Michael Stetz]

I saw this fish today being sold as assorted of damselfish. Is this an Azure or koppang damsel? I have never seen them with the yellow dorsal fin. I have always heard that they are a very peaceful damsel and I thought about adding them to my clownfish tank.

Fiji blue devil. I like them. They aren't overly aggressive, but you know they are damsel. They keep those colors for good too. They don't turn black like many of the other blue damsels. And they don't get huge either.

Not an azure.

Blue Devil eh... Sounds peaceful ;-)

Thank you for the fast reply. I think I will do more research and hold off for now.

That's a Fiji Blue Devil damsel, Chrysiptera taupau. It's a little more aggressive than an azure.

It's a beautiful fish. For some reason I really like yellow tail damsels so I am always on the lookout for azures because I hear they are more peaceful. When I upgrade to my 40B I might restart my 20L as a damsel tank
