Amblyglyphidodon leucogaster
(Bleeker 1847), the White- or Yellowbelly
Damselfish. Quite variable in appearance, as evidenced in its
multiple common names, the Yellow/Whitebelly Damsel may well be two distinct
species… The Indo-West Pacific (Melanesia, Micronesia, Ryukyus to the GBR)
form separate from the eastern Africa into Red Sea one. Both are beautiful
and aquarium-desirable varieties, found on reef slopes, passages and
lagoons. This species too is a generalized zooplanktivore, feeding on
crustaceans (copepods, mysids, amphipods, other crustacean larvae), fish
eggs, and some algae. |

| Amblyglyphidodon aureus
(Cuvier 1830), the Golden Damselfish. This gorgeous yellow-gold
damsel is found throughout the Indo-West Pacific, the Andaman Sea,
eastern Indian Ocean to Fiji, throughout Micronesia. The Golden Damsel
is mostly found in settings of vertical reef walls amongst corals and
gorgonians. The species feeds almost exclusively on zooplankton. |
