The Beaugregory Damsel, scientifically known as Stegastes leucostictus, is a vibrant and lively saltwater fish species that brings a splash of color and energy to any marine aquarium. With its striking combination of blue and yellow hues, the Beaugregory Damsel is a captivating addition that will enhance the visual appeal of your tank.
The Beaugregory Damsel displays a bright blue body with distinct yellow markings on its head and dorsal fin. This coloration creates a stunning contrast and makes them stand out in any marine environment. They typically reach a size of around 4 inches, making them suitable for small to medium-sized reef aquariums.
Known for their territorial nature and active behavior, Beaugregory Damsels thrive in aquariums with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming space. They are generally compatible with other semi-aggressive to aggressive fish species, but caution should be exercised when selecting tank mates to ensure compatibility. Providing live rock formations and coral structures will create a suitable habitat for them to explore and establish their territories.
Feeding the Beaugregory Damsel is relatively easy as they are omnivorous. They have a hearty appetite and will readily accept a variety of high-quality flake or pellet foods designed for marine fish. Supplementing their diet with frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp or mysis shrimp will provide them with additional nutrition and help maintain their vibrant colors.
