(1) In the open water just off the reef, great swarms of damselfish cavorted, collecting plankton while barracuda cruised by trying to select an easy meal.(2) Closer to the reef, divers will be attracted by the hive of activity - wrasses, damselfish , butterflyfish and cleaner fish dart about foraging for food among the hard corals.(3) An increase in territory quality has been shown to increase the aggressive intensity of S. planifrons, a damselfish closely related to the beaugregory damselfish .(4) The deadly shelter of the stinging tentacles of sea anemones, which are lethal to smaller creatures, provides safe lodging for spotted damselfish and boldly striped clown fish.(5) Many male damselfish , wrasses, and angelfish, among others, maintain harems.(6) Three-spot damselfish are common members of Caribbean reef communities.(7) Many small fish, including juvenile fairy basslets and damselfish , retreat into crinoid arms when bigger fish appear.(8) Up to 25 percent of all fish on reefs are cardinalfish, and damselfish compose up to 50 percent of the total fish biomass (weight of all the fish) on reefs, the study says.(9) Because both cleaners and damselfish are diurnal, cleaning activities only occur during daylight periods.(10) Closer to the reef and in among a necklace of smaller granite boulders are all the usual reef fish - butterflyfish, damselfish , Moorish idols, triggerfish, angelfish, groupers and lionfish.(11) The sites are home to a vast variety of reef dwellers such as the damselfish , angelfish, butterflyfish and sweetlips.(12) Swarms of anthias, wrasse, emerald green triggerfish, damselfish , clownfish and butterflyfish shrouded it but never strayed far into the intermediate zone patrolled by trevally, tuna, jacks and fusiliers.(13) In addition, some fishes are quite good at identifying other species; the Beau Gregory damselfish is apparently able to distinguish 50 different reef fish species that occur within its territory.(14) Amid the ever-present clouds of little midnight-blue triggerfish and brilliant damselfish , and closely observed by a Napoleion wrasse, we rose from 20m in a gentle upward spiral until we ran out of reef.(15) Grouper are close to the top of the fish food chain, anthias and damselfish near the bottom, so there must be smaller fish somewhere.(16) I can see small schools of brightly coloured damselfish dart in and out of their coral shelters.
