An Adult Ambon Damsel. There is a lot of confusion about the identification of Ambon Damsels and Lemon Damsels. They are very similar. The adult Ambon Damsels are darker than the LemonDamsels. If you search you will see many fish that look the same but have different identifications. There is also an article that says they see differently than us and that in ultraviolet light there is a difference that the fish can see. Amami 2026
There are small pink dots on the back of the adult Ambon Damsel. Amami 2026
