Pomacentrus auriventris Allen, 1991
Pomacentrus is a genus of Indo-Pacific damselfish (Pomacentridae) and the second most species-rich genus in this family after Chromis.
Pomacentrus auriventris, commonly known as the golden-bellied damsel, is a species of damselfish found in the western central Pacific. Occasionally it also finds its way into the aquarium trade.
Adults primarily inhabit inner reef slopes with mixed debris, corals and algae. They gather close to the ground, usually in small groups. The spawn are ground eggs that adhere to the substrate. Males guard and ventilate the eggs.
A demoiselle that is not often found here. Attitude but simple. Quickly accepts any food.
