The moon is known to be an environmental factor that controls the reproductive cycle of fish, and fish have evolved a variety of reproduction patterns depending on the lunar phase. In this study, we examined the relationship between lunar phases and the reproductive cycle of the humbug damselfish Dascyllus aruanus inhabiting Weno Island, Chuuk Lagoon, Micronesia. We divided the one-month lunar Florent's Guide To The Tropical Reefs - Whitetail Dascyllus - Dascyllus aruanus - Damselfishes - Humbug Damselfish, Black and White Damselfish, Banded Humbug - Damselfishes - Indo-Pacific, Red Sea, Australia, French Polynesia - Humbug Damselfish, Black and White Damselfish, Banded Humbug Dascyllus Species aruanus Family Pomacentridae Order Perciformes Class Actinopterygii Subphylum Vertebrata Phylum Chordata Kingdom Animalia; Size Range It grows to about 8.5 cm in length. Introduction. Aggregations of Banded Humbugs often seek shelter between the branches of coral. The species is commonly seen by divers. Whitetail dascyllus is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region, Red Sea included. However, the species has recently been split with D. aruanus found in the Pacific and Forsskål's 1775 name Dascyllus abudafur being resurrected for the Red Sea and Indian Ocean populations.
