Black with white saddle across nape and white spot on mid upper back; both diminish with age/size. Despite the likelihood that many are captured with cyanide, Three-Spot Domino Damselfish are the #3 marine aquarium fish imported into the U.S. Captive breeding has been successful at the experimental level only. Live animals should never be used to cycle new tanks. Live rock and other harmless alternatives exist.
