| Scientific Name(s) | Chrysiptera parasema |
| | Family Name | | | Water Type | Saltwater | | Description | As with most Damsels, the Yellowtail Damsel grows from a docile juvenile into an aggressive adult. As a result Damsels, should not be kept with small docile tank-mates, rather with other aggressive community fishes. Numerous juveniles may be kept together. However, adults will often fight unless they are a pair. If you plan to keep several types of Damsels, it is recommended that you add them at the same time to avoid territorial disputes. Make sure to provide caves or hiding places for them.
The Yellowtail Damsel is not a threat to corals, clams, or invertebrates.
