From stunning bright colours to drab, muted hues, Damselfish are one of the most common species found in Ngwe Saung and can be seen virtually everywhere. Damselfish are surprisingly territorial for their size and diverse coloration. They typically stake out a designated “home” amongst the coral reef which they will then defend with their lives often against predators much larger than themselves. Depending on subspecies their diet consists of either plankton or algae, with the plankton eaters typically having brighter colours and the algae feeders being duller shades of orange and brown.
