Damselfish (Pomacentridae)
Damselfish are everywhere on the reef and if you closely oberve them you are bound to see nest guarding or spawning in many species. Clown fish or anemnefish can be seen guarding their nests among the tentacles of the larger sea anemones.  The tentacles of the anemones are stinging but the clwn fish have a special chemical mix in their body slime which makes them immune.
