| Amblyglyphidodon leucogaster
(Bleeker 1847), the White- or Yellowbelly Damselfish.
Quite variable in appearance, as evidenced in its multiple common
names, the Yellow/Whitebelly Damsel may well be two distinct
species'¦ The Indo-West Pacific (Melanesia, Micronesia,
Ryukyus to the GBR) form separate from the eastern Africa into Red
Sea one. Both are beautiful and aquarium-desirable varieties, found
on reef slopes, passages and lagoons. This species too is a
generalized zooplanktivore, feeding on crustaceans (copepods,
mysids, amphipods, other crustacean larvae), fish eggs, and some
algae. |

| Amblyglyphidodon aureus (Cuvier 1830),
the Golden Damselfish. This gorgeous yellow-gold damsel is
found throughout the Indo-West Pacific, the Andaman Sea, eastern
Indian Ocean to Fiji, throughout Micronesia. The Golden Damsel is
mostly found in settings of vertical reef walls amongst corals and
gorgonians. The species feeds almost exclusively on zooplankton.
