  Friendly Damsels? It Can't be Possible!... The Genus Chromis by Henry C. Schultz III - Reefkeeping.com
Last month I discussed one of the four subfamilies of Pomacentridae, the always-lovable Clownfishes.
They are distinguished from other Damsels in a number of ways, most notably by having a forked caudal fin, small conical teeth with an enlarged front row, and a fully scaled head except for around the mouth and nostrils.

  ADW: Pomacentridae: Information
The family Pomacentridae consists of approximately 28 genera and 335 species.
They tend to be territorial and can be aggressive, although this is not the case for the non-territorial, free-swimming planktivores or the anemonefishes (Amphiprion and Premnas) that live commensally with anemone hosts.
Damselfishes (Pomacentridae) use a variety of visual, olfactory, tactile, and auditory cues to communicate in different situations.

 Damselfish Family Fish Species Information
The Damselfish (Pomacentridae): The Damselfishes are a group of small, very colorful reef fishes found throughout the subtropical and tropical regions of the world’s oceans.
These differ from nearly all other marine reef fishes by possession of a single nostril that occurs on each side of the snout that is a blind pouch.
There are a total of 321 species of the Pomacentridae known globally, of which 13 are found in the Sea of Cortez.

This file contains a systematic overview of Pomacentridae, featuring links to books, other pages on the web about Pomacentridae, pictures etc. Common names in different languages may be also available as well as a short dutch description to the taxon.
Unlike most other reef fishes, damselfishes attach their eggs to the reef and protect them while the embryos are developing inside.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Independent evolution of the specialized pharyngeal jaw apparatus in cichlid and labrid ...
That is to say, although the present phylogeny demonstrated that the three labroid families, Cichlidae, Pomacentridae, and Embiotocidae, formed a well-supported monophyletic group (clade B) without non-labroid taxa, there remains a possibility that some non-labroid taxa would break into the group when more extensive taxon sampling is conducted.
Based on the present phylogeny, a single origin of the specialized PJA in a common ancestor of the suborder Labroidei is unlikely, because such an evolutionary scenario requires subsequent losses of the complex structures in a wide variety of percomorphs.
The Pomacentridae and Embiotocidae, both of which inhabit coastal marine waters, may not have had such opportunity to colonize novel habitats without competitors.

 Genetics and Molecular Biology - Robertsonian rearrangements in the reef fish Chromis (Perciformes, Pomacentridae) ...   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In reef fish belonging to the Pomacentridae, centric fusion has been described either as a polymorphic condition, as observed in the genus Dascyllus (Ojima and Kashiwagi, 1981), or established in derived karyotypes, as detected in two species of Chrysiptera (Takai and Ojima, 1995).
In addition, telomeric- and 5S rDNA probes were used in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), to identify the chromosomes involved in the Robertsonian rearrangements observed in C.
Most Pomacentridae species often show a numerically conserved karyotype of 48 chromosomes, with differences in the chromosome formula (FN = 48-90) probably being related to the occurrence of pericentric inversions during karyotype diversification (Takai and Ojima, 1987).

 Student project report - Ichthyology - ZOO334C - Sergeant Major
The Sergeant Major (Abudefduf saxatilis, family Pomacentridae) is a coral reef fish that is found in many reefs in the Atlantic Ocean.
There are other closely related members of the genus, which may in fact be the same species, that are found in reefs around the world.
This is a fairly large group (1/4 of all Perciformes) that is defined by characters associated with the pharyngeal jaws.

 Cichlid Research Home Page: Introducing the Cichlids...
The cichlids make up a disproportionate number of the Perciform fishes, ranking second in number only to the gobies (Gobiidae).
Other large families of perciform fishes include the wrasses (Labridae), sea basses (Serranidae), blennies (Blenniidae), damselfishes (Pomacentridae), drums and croakers (Sciaenidae) and cardinalfishes (Apogonidae) all of which have more than 200 species apiece.
Ichthyologists do not yet fully understand all the complex relationships within the Perciformes; however, it seems relatively certain that the Cichlidae belong in a cluster of closely related families which includes the wrasses (Labridae), the damselfishes (Pomacentridae) and the surfperches (Embiotocidae).

Clownfish can be kept in an aquarium with or without an anemone but if you decide to keep an anemone you should make sure its special needs are met.
Most fish in this family, Pomacentridae, can become territorial (aggressive) when they get older.
Among the exceptions to this are the Green Chromis, the Blue reef chromis, and the skunk clown.
