More about Ocellate damsel
The Ocellate damsel (Pomacentrus vaiuli) is a small, brightly colored reef fish predominantly blue in appearance, with some individuals showcasing yellow accents towards the back and tail. Originating from the Western Pacific Ocean, this species is recognized by its vivid hue and a distinctive eyespot or 'ocellus' on the dorsal fin. It has a typical damselfish shape, with a compact, rounded body. While it is known within saltwater aquarium circles, the Ocellate damsel is not as commonly kept or as widely recognized as some other damselfish species in the marine aquarium hobby.
