Pomacentrus is a genus of fish in the family Pomacentridae, commonly known as damselfish. These small to medium-sized fish are known for their bright colors and are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their hardiness and ease of care. They are generally peaceful but can become territorial, especially during breeding. They thrive in well-established aquariums with plenty of live rock for hiding and grazing on algae. It's important to provide a varied diet including marine flakes, frozen, and live foods to maintain their vibrant colors and health.
