Abstract

Field observations of territorial male staghorn damselfish Amblyglyphidodon curacao were conducted at Sesoko Island, Okinawa, Japan. Such males vacated their territories temporarily to visit multiple nests, often picking at the surface of the latter with their mouth, but not eating eggs, if present. Visiting behavior was observed in both the breeding and nonbreeding seasons, the manner and frequency of visits not differing between the two, and may have been a search for a vacant better nest to which to move.
