I purchased a Starcki Damsel today and it is absolutely beautiful. So far it is mixing well with everyone in my tank with the exception of my Electric Indigo Dottyback.

I love this fish too. Nice bright colors. I may get one in the future. Very nice!
One of our local Petcos have them in stock almost every month... might pick one up!
This is one of the ‘good’ Petcos... great SW dept and prices are usually lower than it’s cousin LiveAquaria and you can see it before you buy it!I would try to avoid Petco and buy it from a online merchant or LFS with a good reputation.
I had one a couple of years ago and they are a really great fish. Mine was fine with everything apart from a yellow wrasse I added a couple of years after it had been in there. I liken them to a dwarf angel in terms of temprement where they are fine with most things but take the occasional dislike to some species.
Mine also took a beating when I added it but from my clowns. Once they settle in they won't take any trouble so I wouldn't worry to much about the dottyback.
Love the look of a starkii. Unfortunately it was a mean fish and took out a lightning maroon of equal size and even stood up to the purple tang. That didn't play out well for the starkii so he was rehomed. It was the most electric blue fish I've seen.
The ones I've seen are model citizens, leave it to me to get the mean one, lolMy LFS told me the Starcki was fairly peaceful for a damsel. So far, so good and I will keep my fingers crosses.
I agree that the colors on the Starcki are absolutely breath taking!
