The species

Dascyllus reticulatus, known commonly as the reticulate dascyllus or two-stripe damselfish among other vernacular names, is a species of marine fish in the family Pomacentridae.

Reticulate dascyllus is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the central Indo-Pacific region.

In captivity, it is known among aquarium owners for its hardiness, and is thus often recommended to novice saltwater aquarium owners.
