notes
   A perfect reef fish. It is completely harmless to invertebrates and is not aggresive at all with other tankmates. Simply a very attractive and peaceful community fish. It can be housed in groups, but always provide with plenty of hiding places.   
overview
  
The Neon Damselfish (Pomacentrus coelestis) belongs to the family named Pomacentridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2.0 inches in length, the Neon Damselfish is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Pomacentrus coelestis should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.
