The staghorn damselfish (Amblyglyphidodon curacao) is a greenish to silver damselfish with broad dark bars and a yellowish belly.
It feeds on plankton and algae and gathers in groups above branching corals, where it shelters when threatened.
In the Philippines it is common in lagoons and on sheltered reefs with staghorn coral.
