Chinese demoiselle

The Chinese demoiselle lives in the reef-associated, non-migratory, marine, depth range 3 - 12 m environment.

Although the Chinese demoiselle is known from other regions, it only seems to be common here. On the sides of its yellow body, seven bands can be found, which are distinctly narrower than the spaces between them. More
