The Chrysiptera cyanea, better known as the Blue Damsel, is a strikingly colored marine fish loved by both novice and experienced aquarists. With its vibrant cobalt blue color and active behavior, this fish is a real eye-catcher in any marine aquarium.

This robust fish species originates from the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific region and is known for its adaptability and strong character. The Blue Damsel is relatively small (usually up to about 7 cm), but compensates for this with an energetic and territorial nature, especially in smaller aquariums.
