Sergeant Major Damsel Care Facts

There are no key facts available for this product.

The Sergeant Major Damsel (Abudefduf saxatilis), also known as the Reef Sergeant or Sergeant Major Fish, originates from the Western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, favoring coral-rich environments. With a length of 6 inches and a lifespan of over ten years, it boasts striking black and white stripes reminiscent of a sergeant major's insignia. This omnivorous species requires a balanced diet of marine pellets, frozen foods, and live shrimp. While generally compatible with reef tanks, caution is advised with delicate corals due to occasional nipping behavior. In a minimum 40-gallon tank with stable water conditions (pH 8.1-8.4, salinity 1.020-1.025, temperature 72-78°F), it thrives alongside tank mates like Clownfish, Firefish Goby, Royal Gramma, Yellowtail Damsel, and Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. When acquired from Saltwaterfish.com, you're assured of a healthy and acclimated addition to your aquarium, backed by their commitment to sustainability and customer satisfaction.

Compatible Tank Include: 


Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris), Firefish Goby (Nemateleotris magnifica), Royal Gramma (Gramma loreto), Yellowtail Damsel (Chrysiptera parasema), Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis)
