Info

Pomacentrus alexanderae Evermann & Seale, 1907

Divers usually encounter this small reef fish as solitary animals. Adults prefer lagoons and reefs facing inland or seaward at depths of 5 to 60 meters.

The reef fish's diet consists of a variety of small prey animals and a plant-based diet of algae.

The dark spot around the pectoral fins is particularly striking.
