Info

(Gill, 1862)

Very special thanks for the first two photos of Stegastes flavilatus to the famous ichthyologist Dr. Gerry R, Allen from Australia.

The photos were taken in Mexico.

The Cortez damselfish ist often found over rocky outcroppings where they defend their territories vigorously.

Best left in the wild.
