Springeri Damsel (Chrysiptera springeri)
The Springeri Damsel is a striking, deep blue fish known for its hardiness and compact size, making it a popular choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Its rich, electric-blue body may show subtle black patterning depending on lighting and mood. Despite its small size, this damsel brings vibrant color and energetic personality to any marine setup.
Tank Requirements
Springeri Damsels can thrive in tanks as small as 20 gallons, though larger tanks help reduce territorial behavior. Provide ample live rock for hiding, exploring, and establishing territory. They adapt well to a range of reef and fish-only systems and are extremely tolerant of varied water conditions, making them a solid choice for new or maturing tanks.
Hardy and Low-Maintenance
Known for their exceptional resilience, Springeri Damsels are tolerant of fluctuations in water parameters, disease-resistant, and long-lived. Their durability makes them ideal candidates for early stocking in new tanks or as a hardy addition to established systems needing a splash of color.
Diet and Feeding
Springeri Damsels are omnivores and readily accept a wide variety of prepared and frozen foods. Offer a balanced dietof high-quality pellets, flakes, and frozen mysis or brine shrimp. They also benefit from occasional algae-based foodsor spirulina to mimic their natural feeding habits in the wild.
Tankmates and Behavior
While generally less aggressive than other damsel species, Springeri Damsels can still become territorial—especially in smaller tanks or with conspecifics. They do best when kept singly or as a mated pair, and are compatible with most peaceful to semi-aggressive tankmates. In larger systems, their aggression is minimal, and they often coexist well with other reef-safe fish and invertebrates.
