Domino Damsel - Scales Turning Silver?

Lysh87 · Feb 27, 2020

Hi everyone! I have had my Domino Damsel for not even a week and he is starting to change from black to silver on his head. He is still swimming fine and eating good. I have noticed he is more aggressive now that he has settled in. I only have 1 coral, 2 hermits and 2 snails. Any ideas for me? Is he okay?

This is the Juvenile coloring of the damsel
They can be totally white or a brown when fully grown. They get extremely mean too.

Oh okay this is great! Thank you. I was worried he was hurt or sick but definitely acting normal. Yes hahaha - we read how horrible they are after we bought him. I think he is so neat though and has so much character. I know I can’t get anymore fish which makes me sad but hermit crabs and snails are fun too lol.
