The dusky sergeant (Abudefduf concolor), [3] also known as the night sergeant, is a species of damselfish in the family Pomacentridae endemic to the eastern Pacific Ocean. The species can reach 19 cm (7.5 in) in total length. [2]
Abudefduf concolor is found in the Eastern Pacific, from El Salvador to Peru, including the Galapagos, Cocos and Malpelo Islands. [1]
Abudefduf concolor is a marine species found in shallow reef habitats, primarily rocky inshore reefs, at depths of up to 5 m (16 ft). [1] It is an omnivorous fish that is also oviparous, with individuals forming pairs during breeding and males guarding and aerating eggs. [2]
