Advice about a Starcki Damsel Needed??

[NJBillyV]

Hey folks, I need one last, active fish for my 40g. Reefer 170 and I'm considering a Starcki Damsel.

Beautiful fish but I'm concerned about it bothering my other non-aggressive fish. Has anyone had experience with it? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

They’re not as fiesty as most damsels. They may dig up the sand a little.

Mine is a model citizen in my 245. I have tangs, clowns , anthias and many others. No other damsels though. It’s a beautiful fish.

I have one and it is very docile. I only see occasional flareups between it and my melanurus wrasse at feeding time but it is mainly both fish displaying to each other and some minor chasing, otherwise it completely ignores all of the other fish in my tank.

How big is your tank? Is it an active fish?

It is a Red Sea Reefer 250. It is an active fish, always out in the open and cruising through the tank.

Did you end up getting the starcki?

I have one in my WB MP25. The damsel and the royal gamma were introduced the same time. The Damsel is such a d!ck... Always chasing the RG.

I think it's getting worse now. So annoyed.
