Pomacentrus Coelestis - Yellow Bellied Damsel
The Yellow Bellied Damsel, often called the Neon Damsel, is a high-voltage addition to the marine aquarium. Featuring a stunning, electric blue body that contrasts sharply against a vibrant yellow belly and tail, this fish is a standout for its sheer color intensity. In the "Answering Machine" era of saltwater husbandry, this species is a favorite for those who want the look of a Regal Tang or an Azure Damsel but in a compact, rugged package.
These fish are incredibly active and bring a sense of kinetic energy to the reef. They are known for their lightning-fast movements and their tendency to hover in the water column before darting back into the safety of the rockwork. Hardy, bold, and visually arresting, the Yellow Bellied Damsel is a quintessential choice for adding constant motion to your system.

Husbandry Notes The Yellow Bellied Damsel is an exceptionally resilient species, making it an excellent choice for a variety of aquarium environments. They are enthusiastic feeders and will readily accept frozen mysis, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, and high-quality flake or pellet foods. While they are more social than some other damselfish, they are territorial and will claim specific areas of the rockwork as their own. Providing a complex aquascape with multiple hiding spots will help diffuse aggression toward tank mates.
