Demoiselle Cacao

Aspect:	All Damselfishes have similar outlines, but with more or less deeply pronounced "chin-pectoral" area and dorsal fin tips of various shape.
Population:	Not abundant (or probably more correctly remains hidden).
Notable feature:	Very difficult to distinguish from other brown-coloured damselfishes, but the Cocoa Damselfish appears to feature a more "straight pointed" nose particularly when compared with the Beaugregory. As exemplified by this specimen, does not necessarily carry a very pronounced darker stain on its upper tail root (very faint in this ocurrence). A number of descriptions mention a slightly more orangy belly.
Environment:	Rocky areas, coral boulders.
Behaviour:	Can be approached when spotted, curious, but constantly moves.
