Flame Damsel also have blue markings on their face and fins. The Flame Damsel has a black spot on the back of their dorsal fin as well.
Flame Damsels reach a maximum adult size of around 3 inches and need to be kept in tanks that are at least 29 gallons in size. Flame Damsels are semi-aggressive fish and shouldn't bother most fish, corals or inverts in your tank. This makes the Flame Damsel a great fish to add to reef tanks. Flame Damsels are also very hardy fish, which makes them a good fish for beginner aquarists.
