Similiparma lurida also known as the Canary damsel is a species of marine fish of the family Pomacentridae. It is found in the eastern Atlantic
Ocean, specifically near Madeira, the Azores, Canary Islands, Cape Verde and Senegal.
S. lurida is commonly associated with reefs in subtroipcal regions, where individuals grow to around 15 cm in length, and feed primarily on algae
and small invertebrates.
Canary damsels inhabit rocky areas, where they lay eggs that are defended by males. The young are can be found along the coast, especially in
tide pools.
Each fish has large eyes, with coloring that is black to brownish black with blue on the fins, and lighter colors on the ventral part of the body.
Juveniles may have lateral stripes on their bodies as well. During their mating season, adults exhibit sexual dimorphism.
