Pomacentridae

From Palaeos

Description

The fish of the family Pomacentridae are the Damselfish. They are closely related to the angelfish and the (marine) butterfly fish. Members of this family are sequential hermaphrodites, hatching as males, and then maturing into females later in their life cycles. Hypsypops rubicundus, better known as the Garibaldi, state marine fish of California, is the largest species. The best known genus is Amphiprion, the anemone or clownfish, which are commensals that lair in the tentacles of large sea anemones.
