Sergeant Majors
One of the fish we regularly see on our dives is the sergeant major. It is a damselfish. We see them as early juveniles (bottom photo, less than 1 inch). Sometimes we see hundreds of them foraging for plankton in the water column (middle photo, about 5 inches). And we see them defending their purple egg masses, in a blue phase, at 6 inches and larger (top photo).
