G'day mate,
the 3 spot dascyllus ( dascyllus trimaculatus ) or the domino damsel as you would know it grow to 13cm (5 in)
Most Dasmsels are very territorial particularly the algal feeding species. damsels will zealousy defend their SMALL PLOT against all intruders regardless of size.
So I agree, they are territorial, I guess because i have so many little cavens and nooks etc with the qauntity of damsels it all seems to pan out. I have seen this type only to 7.5 cm (3 inch) in tanks but I believe to full size in a reef set up call the REEF HQ this is where corals are studied, blah blah great barrier etc etc its a great site, i would love to own it some of the biggest anemonies i have ever seen 3-6 feet round. cos i am lazy

any way i need food - chat soon

PS:
oh, the HUMBUG dascyllus (dascyllus aruanus ) which i have look very much like the black tailed dascyllus ( dascyllus melanurus ) the hum bug grows to 8 cm ( 3 in) and the black tailed 8.5 cm
ALL - did you know there are Approx 335 species world wide and AUST is lucky enuff to have 170 ( i got a long way to go to have each one ) does any one have damsel living in anemonies or corals? ( not clowns ) i just find damsels so interesting, each to there own i guess. i actually started out with 6 narrow banded sergeant majors, which i caught in fist size puddles at low tide, cute when little but i had to move them to the NASTEY TANK why 18.5 cm (7.5in) they didnt get that big (uglie ) because the good old barracod was partial to damsels. now these muthers were nastey fish.

correct
dead right ! they belong to the geus AMPHIPRION which contains 26 species ( SYMBIOTIC DAMSELS living together )
me grama is not that flash - i was just trying to exclude clowns, i find it fasinating that a few species as babys use stingers as protection and then move away from them and a few actually remain symbiotic.

Actually, The genus Amphiprion presently has 27 identified species with several species in question that may represent hybrids (A. leuckocranos and A. theilli). (FYI)
