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. S. Leyte 2013.

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.

Amphiprion frenatus
Brevoort 1856, the Tomato Clownfish. Found in several island groups
in the Western Pacific. To five and a half inches in length in the
wild. This one in Australia with a Bubble Tip Anemone,
Entacmaea quadricolor which the species most often pairs with. S.
