Adults occur singly or in small groups in lagoons, harbors, and outer reef slopes. Found among corals and coral rubble (Ref. 9710). Feed mainly on zooplankton. 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). DNA analysis suggests that this species could be divided to three species at least, i.e. fish from (1) Andaman Sea, (2) Indo-Australian archipelago, and (3) New Caledonia and southern Coral Sea are distinct species. Diurnal species (Ref. 54980; 113699).

Chrysiptera rollandi

provided by wikipedia EN

Chrysiptera rollandi, commonly known as Rolland's demoiselle, is a species of damselfish in the family Pomacentridae.

Distribution

Rolland's demoiselle is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the central Indo-Pacific region.[1] It lives on reefs among corals and in lagoons and harbors.

Description

The Rolland's demoiselle is a small size fish and can reach a maximum size of 7.5 cm in length.[1] It is dark brown with blue streaks and a cream-colored belly.

It is of some commercial importance in the aquarium trade.[2]

In aquarium

It is not very aggressive in attempting to extend territory but strongly territorial in protecting its ownership of area. If it feels any stress in the aquarium, its health deteriorates rapidly and may die next morning. Therefore, it is quite difficult to raise in aquarium for years.[3]
