Joe D. Abudefduf cyaneus Dascyllus trimaculatus Damsels are actually in the same family as clownfish but usually the two are separated into anemonefish, or clownfish, and damselfish.
Damsels are very colorful and are very hardy in captivity.
Some damsels live in a comensal relationship with anemones as do the clownfish. This means they live together with both the damsel and the anemone benefitting from each others' company. Damsels can be kept in an aquarium with or without an anemone but if you try to keep an anemone you should make sure and meet its special needs. About one fish per 10 gallons is used to do this. In nature many clownfish will live with the same anemone with only one dominant female and the rest being male.
