The Lemon Damsel, Pomacentrus moluccensis, also known as the Golden Damsel, is a small, bright yellow damselfish that sometimes has vibrant blue lines across its head and fins. As it matures the bright yellow colors becomes more subtle and the damsel becomes less shy and reserved.

This damsel is often found in the tank investigating branching corals and hiding among live rock crevices.

They are generally best kept singly in tanks of at least 20 gallons with plenty of live rock.

The Lemon Damsel’s diet includes a mixture of live, frozen, and flake foods. It can be wise to add this damsel to a community tank last to avoid territorial behavior. The Lemon Damsel is a great beginner fish as it is easy to care for and hardy.
