The Azure Damselfish, also known as the Half-blue Damselfish, is a two-tone, darting marine fish. The front portion of the body is bright blue. The posterior portion, anal fin, and tail are yellow. There is a species variation in the amount of yellow on the body of the fish. (Some call C. parasema the Azure Damselfish, however, in the aquarium trade, the Azure Damselfish is considered to be this fish, C. hemicyanea.)
A 30 gallon or larger aquarium will hold a single Azure Damselfish. A 55 gallon or larger aquarium is suitable for a small group.
In the aquarium, it can be fed a varied diet of meaty items, vitamin-enriched shrimp, herbivore flakes, and frozen preparations.
Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 3/4" to 1-1/4" Medium: 1-1/4" to 2-1/4" Large: 2-1/4" to 3"

The Azure Damselfish is a rather striking addition to the reef aquarium. Hardy, active, and attention-getting, this fish is great for a burst of color and movement. Temperament and behavior seem comparable to the Yellowtail Damselfish. However, for just a few dollars more, I must recommend the Azure Damselfish over its close cousin due to its more attractive coloration.
Electric pop of color in my tank. I got three for my semi agressive 135 gallon aquarium. They hold their own and are so gorgeous in the tankl I love the maize and blue! You don't have to be a Michigan fan to love how these guys light up an aquarium. Most of my fish are much larger than they, so no probles with agression yet
