I have 4 blue green damsels and one has been hosting my clear torch for the last few days. Anyone have any idea what the he'll is going on? Lol

He pretty much hasn't left that spot other then feeding time since this past weekend.

I'm wondering if this fish is a male and has prepared a nest.

Chromis viridis spawn over sand and rubble. The male prepares the nest which is shared with several females. The nest is located on sand or rubble.[1][2] During spawning, the male turns more yellowish in color.[2] The large number of eggs will hatch in 2–3 days.[2] The male guards the nest and ventilates it with its fins and feeding on those eggs that do not hatch.[1][2] Males feed on unhatched eggs to prevent them from being breeding grounds for microorganisms which risks their lives
