Notes

Damselfishes are found throughout the world's tropical and warm temperate waters, but are most diverse in the Indo-Pacific region. Some species are herbivorous and aggressively guard a small patch of filamentous algae, chasing off any other fishes that intrude into their territory and even attacking divers.
