Talbot's Damsel (Chrysiptera talboti)
Talbot's Damsel carries some of the boldest, most saturated coloring in a family that isn't exactly shy about color, and it backs that up with one of the milder temperaments among damsels — still capable of claiming a corner of the tank, just without the constant border disputes typical of the group. A solid, low-maintenance pick for anyone easing into saltwater near New Milford, CT.
Care level: Easy · Temperament: Semi-aggressive, milder than most damsels · Max size: ~3" · Min tank: 30 gal · Diet: Omnivore, marine flake/pellet
