More about Marginated damsel
The Marginated damsel (Dascyllus marginatus) is a small, primarily black colored fish with distinct white margins along its fins. It is native to the Western Pacific Ocean, exhibiting a typical damselfish appearance with its compact, rounded body. In the aquarium hobby, it is not as well-known or popular as some other damsel species, partly due to its more subdued coloration and aggressive temperament common to damsels.
