Life Cycle
provided by Fishbase
Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).

Trophic Strategy
provided by Fishbase
Occur in small groups or may be solitary. Juveniles usually found in tide pools. Primarily a grazer with regards to their herbivorous habits (Ref. 275). Feed on plants and benthic invertebrates (Ref. 13550).
Biology
provided by Fishbase
Inhabit rocky lagoons, reef flat shorelines and piers subject to mild surge; juveniles are common in tide pools (Ref. 9710). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Occasionally form schools. Feed on algae, crustaceans and other invertebrates during the day. Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Highly territorial (Ref. 9710). Utilized as a food fish by the Hawaiians (Ref. 7364).

Abudefduf sordidus

Abudefduf sordidus, commonly known as the blackspot sergeant or kūpīpī in Hawaii, is a large solitary damselfish in the family Pomacentridae native to the tropical Indo-Pacific.[1][2][3][4]
Description
Blackspot sergeants are generally yellowish-grey in colour with six brown broad bars, six to seven narrow light bars and a black spot at the upper base of the tail.[2] They can reach up to 24 cm (9.4 inches) in total length[4] and are known to live up to nine years in the wild.[2]
Habitat and behavior
Blackspot sergeants are common in tidepools and rocky shallow areas with moderate surge at a depth of 0 to 3 m (0 to 10 ft).[2][5][6] Juvenile blackspot sergeants are common in tidepools where they feed on algae, small animals, and plankton.[6] Once they mature and become bigger, they are known to move towards deeper areas with more surge.[6] Blackspot sergeants are very territorially aggressive, especially towards other fish in tidepools.[6][3] During the day they are often found near rocky areas, although at night they tend to take shelter under various objects.[6] Blackspot sergeants are oviparous and males build a nest site in rocky areas to attract females.[6][2] During this mating period they are believed to be especially aggressive.[2]
